A review by efram
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
5.0
The Hunger Games' rate of playful five stars symbolizes my strong recommendation of the novel. For avid readers, my high recommendation is for those who prefer game-setting story line. As for non-readers, this can be a good read due to its simple and convenient writing approach. I will not recommend this to readers with strong preference for omniscient point of view as the totality of this novel is limited within Katniss.
The strengths of the book are its fascinating writing style - making the reading experience as engaging as the games, superb usage of symbolism to gradually establish the significance of the main character, diverse characterization, excellent use of the game concept to unfold a deeper plot, and lastly, stunning world-building. The only weakness I found is the lacking of perspective, providing us only a narrowed-view through Katniss.
