Review of 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins

The nation of Panem is a Capitol surrounded by twelve districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before; and survival, for her, is second nature. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. 

With the way that the author tells us the story through Katniss' perspective, the brilliant plot, and the epic plot - twists, this book was better than I thought it would be. Even though I loved the first book, and the second was quite good either, I didn't like the third book at all. Anyway, I still recommend this book to everyone who loves dystopian fiction.
