Review Detail

When Katniss's younger sister's name is drawn to be in the Hunger Games - a fight to the death between twenty-four teenagers - Katniss volunteers to step in for her sister. Another contestant in the Games is one of her friends who she's romantically interested in, and who's romantically interested in her. Katniss has to decide who to trust to survive, and making a statement about the cruelty of the system.

The Hunger Games is definitely a page turner. It's not light either - Katniss's voice is serious, and the book can be at times dark. However, it's not so dark that I was at all uncomfortable reading it. It had a perfect amount of suspense. I loved The Hunger Games, and I can't wait for the next one to come out.
