May the odds be ever in your favor.
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. In the previous war the Capitol took over and now, the Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl from each district, between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Every single second of this dreadful event is recorded twenty four seven and broadcasted across the nation.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. Katniss has been close to dead before. For her, survival, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. If she is to win, she will have to start making choices that are very well the difference between life and death. What lies ahead is great rewards and fortune if she makes the right choices and if luck is on her side. But also, a love triangle between Katniss, Peeta, and Gale slowly unfolds, forcing Katniss to decide whom she really wants to be with—a situation complicated by the fact .
Will she win or will she die?Who shall she pick?
Happy Hunger games...
My Thoughts
The book takes place in the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Katniss lives in District 12. Every year the children from age 12-18 have to put there names in a drawing. One boy and one girl from each district is picked to play in "The Hunger Games". The only way to win is to be the last one standing.
I enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed Katniss, she is resourceful and determined. Peeta was an interesting character. Gale was only in the very beginning of the book, but he certainly left an impression.. I hope we read more about him.
