A review by sleepey
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

4.5

This book is very tightly structured, you can tell every chapter had a purpose & the author pretty much nailed it every time. The world is well-built, class-conscious without flattening the characters, which are fun & distinct (if a little sparsely described). I kept forgetting about the sci-fi elements & getting jarred out of the story a bit when there was suddenly a forcefield or something in the scene. But it didn't detract from the experience too much. This book is a little longer than I usually read but I flew through it easily, engaged the whole time - I can definitely see how it got so popular.
