The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
4.0
I liked the book better than the film!
You learn so much more about the dystopian world of Panem. There’s so much detail that was left out of the films, and it immersed you further into this world, showing how far away from our reality it truly is.
You get such a deeper insight into the thoughts and feelings of Katniss. You see her pondering over choices as she decides how she can survive, whilst trying to save Peeta too.
I did find the romance in this book a little cringe, but I’m not a huge fan of romance plots, and I knew it was to be expected.
This whole world is dark, dismal and depressing, and perfectly allows the reader to form a picture of the reality of Panem and the games. It deals with important issues that are relevant to our society, such as social class, poverty, hunger and the ignorance of people in power. I think it is such an important book for the YA genre.
The story is well-written and extremely fast-paced, and it kept me on my toes constantly. I loved Katniss and her strength, she had a real refusal to die, and fought hard to protect her family and the people she loves.
