ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Suzanne
Marie Collins (born August 10, 1962) is an American television writer
and novelist, best known as the author of The New York Times best
selling series The Underland Chronicles and The Hunger Games trilogy.
SUMMARY
The Hunger Games takes place in a nation known as Panem, established in North America after the destruction of the continent's civilization by an unknown apocalyptic event. The nation consists of the wealthy Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts united under the Capitol's control. District 12, where the book begins, is located in the coal-rich region that was formerly known as Appalachia.
As punishment for a past rebellion against the Capitol, in which a 13th district was destroyed, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected by an annual lottery to participate in the Hunger Games, an event in which the participants, the "tributes", must fight to the death in an outdoor arena controlled by the Capitol, until only one individual remains. The story is narrated by 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th annual Hunger Games in place of her younger sister, Primrose. The male tribute along her is Peeta Mallark. Will this be an another ordinary HUNGER GAMES or is it the start of the end......
PERSONAL REVIEWS
Well according to me, this book has been a blockbuster. It has all the right amount of romance, drama, action and comedy mixed into it. I was glued onto it from the beginning and it kept me in the edge of the seat every time..... However I just didn't like one thing.... That was the names... Like who names a boy a Peeta!!For a Hindi knowing person the name is damn comical But then also I would like to give a 4.75 rating.
