The Hunger Games are an annual tradition directed by the Capitol rulers, not only to amuse the citizens, but also to preserve control over the districts by demonstrating the Capitol's dominance.
Each year, the twelve districts must send two representatives, a girl and a boy, to participate in the Hunger Games. These representatives are called "tributes" to make people believe that representing their district is an honor, even though each person lives in fear that someone they love will be chosen. And the entire nation must watch as these 24 tributes battle each other to the death until only one is left as the victor. Having a victor is very important to a district.
This book is full of suspense but it's also very sad.
Every situation is given with lots of details. The book is rich in discussion points, not only about government, personal freedom and sacrifice, but also about what it means to be yourself and not submit to society's expectations.
Personally for me this book was very good to read. I couldn't let the book out of my hands.
At some parts I had the feeling to be in the story.
I can recommend the book to everyone who loves books full of suspense with a touch of romance.
