Book Review.

                                The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins
           Inspired by the Greek myth The Minotaur and reality TV, Suzanne Collins brings us The Hunger Games. Mildly a satire, this book has erected the bridge of age, with a haunting, heartwarming tale for ages 13 to 113.

           When a giant wave crashes over all land on earth, the people who have survived band together to create life and law on the ruins of North America. The new world order, has it's flaws. The Capitol, reigns mercilessly over the other thirteen districts. When District Thirteen rebels, they are in turn wiped out. As a warning to the remaining districts to not cross The President, The Capitol institutes The Hunger Games. A televised fight to the death between twenty four teenagers, two from each district. The lone winner brings food and supplies to his or hers home district. The land of Panem goes on in fear of this event for seventy three years...
            Katniss Everdeen's sister, Prim, is only twelve, making this her first year to be in the drawing to compete in The Hunger Games. When Prim is chosen, Katniss volunteers to go to in her place.
            Soon Katniss finds herself in a whirlwind of training, and attention of the odd citizens of The Capitol. She puts up a wall, not letting anyone in, focused on her one goal, winning The Games.
            Will overwhelming enemies and an impromptu romance get in the way of her making it out of the seventy fourth Hunger Games alive?

            Sex: never
            Language: never
            Drugs and Alcohol: Frequently
            Violence: Often (graphic)

            I give this book four and a half out of five stars.
            Read it read it read it read it!!
