Hunger Games is a book about a girl named Katniss Everdeen, I remember her name because her childhood friend calls her Catnip. Katniss lives in a district that mines coal. Their are other districts that do other things but all are highly controlled by the Capital. The Capital is what took over the ruins of North America. Their Nation is the nation of Panem. To keep the districts in line they have a boy and girl from each district go to a televised event called the "Hunger Games." In this deadly game, only one will live through until the end. The goal is to be the last one living. It is kill or be killed. This is a very intriguing story and one that doesn't lose my interest throughout. I must admit after "The Hunger Game" ends I felt urgent about reading "Catching Fire" to find out more of the story. But after "Catching Fire," I feel I am catching my breath a little better. I don't know why that is so because from the ending can tell there is much action ahead. In fact, I think I'll go read it!
I recommend these books but also recommend putting aside enough time to read them....they are all encompassing, thought promoting books.
