“May the odds be ever in your favor.”

 

 This review is only about the first book.

If you know what Harry Potter and Twilight are, then surely you have heard of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Katniss Everdeen volunteers for her sister and is sent with Peeta Mellark to the capitol to compete in the Hunger Games, where one victor comes out alive. The Hunger Games is a romance, action, and somewhat gruesome/violent book. It is in the future, so the gadgets are cool, but if you are not a fan of action, and enjoy reading things like realistic fiction or biographies, this is not a book for you. The Hunger Games is very well thought out and the characters are complex. I applaud Mrs. Collins on that. On the other hand, lots of people don’t want to read the book because it has made itself a few stereotypes.

Here is a list:

1. Romance that shouldn’t be here
2. Action/Violence
3. (If you have watched the movie) The Hunky Guy Center

Now, getting back to the book, in Chapter Two you will see 12 year olds’ Hunger Game posters being delivered. Oops! Sorry, I was confused and was talking about number three on our list. Honestly, it is just a bunch of war scenes and beauty pageants and starving people. Oh wait! I get it now! Mrs. Collins was trying to show us some of the things that are wrong with society! The book gets a four star rating, because it is actually telling us that we need to do something.
