Review Detail

What do I have to say? I think that this book doesn't need more compliments! It's simply amazing, touching, intense and it left me wordless.

Suzanne have done an amazing work in everything, the protagonist is fantastic! She has so much personality and it's not the usual beautiful girl who fell in love with the handsome guy. The framework is magnificent, not only because it's original but also because, even if Fantasy, it rapresents a little the situation of nowadays, in some parts of the world. In it's originality this book really makes you think about how precious is life, about how difficult this could be for some person who has to fight to find something to eat or to survive.

I completely love Katniss, she's such a great character. She have been forced to grow up because of her father's death; she was the only person who could have been capable to rise up her family and her loved sister. The ruined childhood subtracts her all the youth experiences which are not related to hunting and survival.

And what about Peeta? I loved him since the first moment! Why? Because is not the handsome bad boy, he's humble, sweet, his beauty doesn't emerge in the book (conversely to other books), a hint of his physical beauty only appears when Katniss says that his body was perfect because of his hard work at the bakery.

When both Katniss and Peeta arrived at the arena the book became even more amazing; I loved the entire situation, the suspence, the tension caused by the fear of the two of them sighted by the other tributes. AMAZING! I felt like like I had been in the arena,too: the clatter of leaves, the smell of smoke, the blazing sun, EVERYTHING.

My heart had been completely stolen! Two parts of the book particulary moved me:

- When Katniss made a deal with Rue, and the terrible certainty that she would have been killed soon after.

- The horrible sensation that Katniss would never understand that Peeta was not joking about his feelings ( The end of the book left me breathless D:)

What else to say) READ IT READ IT READ IT! For Fantasy lovers this is a must-read
