The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

You may have heard of the world famous movie "The Hunger Games" but what you readers might not know is that before The Hunger Games was a movie it was a book series. The plot of the first book is that the world is divided into twelve districts that have been corrupt by the Capitol. The Capitol controls all twelve districts and created the hunger games. Once a year two children , one boy and one girl, from each district are chosen to fight to the death on live television. They are chosen at random by draw. This year twelve year old Primrose Everdeen has been chosen to be this year's District twelve tribute. Katniss Everdeen, Prim's sister,  has volunteered to be the female tribute to save Prim from going in. As she embarks on the journey towards the hunger games the people of Panem begin to see her as the face of the rebellion. This book will take you into a future most people fear of. I encourage you read the whole series because once you start you wont be able to stop.

I rate this book five stars because it as an intriguing plot that always leaves you wanting more. WARNING! you might cry during the reading of this book. P.S Most of the books i'll be recommending will be tearjerkers.

If you are interested in going to see The Hunger Games in theatre's i highly recommend you read the book first because as much as i loved the movie i think the books are way better.

  1. It's common knowledge that movies based on books are usually much different, aside from the main plot. Is it the same with this series?
