REVIEWbyU - The hunger games, by Suzanne Collins

About the Books reader Riprider has given 5 stars to The hunger games by Suzanne Collins. Here is Riprider's full review:

Every year there’s the Reaping. Every year there’s the Games. Every year there’s only one survivor. Every year there’s only one rule: Kill or be Killed.

Katniss Everdeen is a struggling teenager living in Panem. The nation of Panem consists of The Capitol and 12 surrounding poorer districts. Each year the Reaping occurs, and two tributes from each district are picked to compete in The Hunger Games as punishment for earlier rebellion. This year, Katniss swaps positions with her sister who was picked, and travels with her other district competitor to fight to the death in the Games.

This book is fast paced and full of action and adventure. The story follows Katniss as she fights to live in the horrible reality TV show, The Hunger Games. 24 contestants are deserted in an arena with limited supplies, and must make do with their wits and skills to survive. The players must kill each other using weapons, strength, instinct, intelligence or even the environment around them. The setting is amazing, and the author includes great detail, making it seem as if you were actually in the Games fighting alongside Katniss.

This book is a fantastic action adventure, that would appeal to fans of books such as The Ranger’s Apprentice Series.
