The Hunger Games are set up every year in the future country Panem as one of the largest
media events. In memory of the destruction of District 13 after an unsuccessful
revolt against the capital, two teenagers from every district are elected to
participate in the games. When Katniss’ younger sister Prim is chosen, she sees
option but taking the place herself in a fight until death.
According to me not comparable to any other fantasy
novel, this book is in a class of its own. The author’s way of conveying a
future disaster, as well as a miserable love story caught my interest in a way
no story has ever done before.
Fantasy is the obvious genre. But don’t get me wrong,
it’s a good thing. Unlike the regular future war story it’s got that excellent
touch of forbidden love. Katniss and Peeta fighting for their right to be
together, no matter the rules of the game, is what makes the plot so great.
When Peeta later finds out Katniss faked her feelings for him to get the
sponsors, you get even more hooked!
Collins sure knows how to catch the reader’s interest. But after all, do you know what the most wonderful and
impressive thing is? It’s that Suzanne Collins’ way of writing is suitable
for anyone. No matter the age, no matter the gender, no matter the interest in
fantasy, this book will not let you down.
As a book to read in class, it would
be absolutely perfect. It’s not hard to read, but it’s got those hidden
emotional happenings and descriptions of a perfect, as well as a terrible
environment that you can keep on analyzing for ever.
