The Hunger Games - Entire Book (Introduction Response)

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is an amazing story of Katniss Everdeen. A sixteen-year-old girl who is now part of the annual Hunger Games. This suspenseful adventure Si-Fi kept me turning until the last page then made me want more!

Katniss lives in District 12 which is part of Panem. Panem is in the place where North America once stood. This hostile place consists of the Capitol and twelve surrounding districts. The Capitol can only be described as cruel and barbaric, covered in a layer of fake shinning glory. Every year the Capitol holds the Hunger Games; a fight to the death among 24 tributes from each district. Katniss Everdeen sister Prim was the 22nd tribute called for the seventy-forth Hunger Games, but since Prim is only 12 Katniss steps up to take her place. This action has thrown her face first into an arena of death.
The main thing that I took away from this book is that you must fight for humanity and what you believe in even if it means certain death.
