The first
book in the bestselling trilogy by Suzanne Collins
Imagine
you’re a teen in the post apocalyptic world, and you’re little sister is being
taken away from you to her certain death. What do you do? Wait, I’ve gotten
ahead of myself.........
The Hunger
Games a gripping tale of the post apocalyptic land of Panem, which is divided
into 11 districts and the Capitol. Each year 2 tributes from each district are
reaped from a pool of children aging from 12 to 18 and are put into an arena
where only one survives to be crowned as victor, all for the entertainment of
most of the public and to remind the citizens of the Capitols power. One such
year Primrose Everdeen is selected to represent district 12 along with Peeta
Mallark. Primrose’s elder sister, Katniss, volunteers to take her place. And,
quite obviously, the book follows them as they prepare for, enter and compete
in the 74th annual
hunger games.
However,
the movie, even with all its awesomeness, has missed out a few very important
parts from the book that are key. I’m not going into that right now as most of
you wouldn’t understand what I’m talking about since the reason you’re reading
this is probably because you’re deliberating on whether you should in fact read
the book or not. Which reminds me, GO READ THE BOOK BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME!!
Suzanne
Collins, the brain behind the whole series, has done an amazing job and is now
in fact one of my favourite authors. At the age of 51, she has written other
books such as working towards independence, fire proof, year of the jungle,
when Charlie McButton lost power and the underworld chronicles (which comprises
of 6 books). Though the hunger games is what really plunged her into the
limelight.
To conclude-
The book is awesome, read it now if you haven’t, if you have.....then read the
rest of the series, if you have......then prepare with me for the release of
the last two movie instalments (mockingjay part 1 and 2).
Bye now!
And to
paraphrase Grace Helbig..... Don’t forget to follow me you gorgeous Popsicle!!
