Student Review: "The Hunger Games," by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games is a dystopian novel set in the time of the future. A country, Panem, is separated into twelve different districts. Two tributes from each district participate in an arena free-for-all known as the Hunger Games. When Katniss Everdeen's sister, Prim, is chosen to be a tribute, she has no choice but to take her place. She has to go to torturous dinners and interviews that she doesn't want to do. But nothing can compare to the bloodbath of the Hunger Games. Will she survive, or will another lucky tribute win the games? Opinion: Overall, this is an amazing novel, with twists and turns everywhere throughout the book. However, some of the relationships Katniss has with the characters were half-baked. It was fast paced and really got my adrenaline pumping. I would recommend reading this book if you are into this type of action.

AJ J.'s Rating: ***1/2
