Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be in your favor! Ever played a fake battle game? Well, in The Hunger Games, it is not fake game play, but instead it is a real battle for your life. It doesn’t matter whether you are killing your best friend or your family, because the game has dog versus dog mentality. Either you kill your opponents, the opponents kill you, or the game makers (the people who made the rules) kill everyone just to show their power. The game will go on till there is only one person left standing! The hunger games is a tradition, so why not continue it? It does not matter how many innocent lives are lost. Just hope, you are not the chosen one!The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a heart breaking book of allies, betrayal, violence, and romance. The main characters, Katniss and Peeta, play their role uniquely both romantically, independently, and together as a team. The plot depicts the effects of violence, war, and romance. This book is certainly for a reader who wants to be flabbergasted on every page. The writing in the book is flawless, and transitions smoothly between each chapter, especially at the betrayal and romantic parts. The Hunger Games is a great read for anyone looking for an intriguing book about adventurous characters.
