This was such a good book that I read the trilogy in 2 days – yay! Oh, and then I re-read it… What can I say? 

This is a bestselling book, so you’ve probably heard of it, but, if you haven’t, Katniss takes her sister’s place in the Hunger Games, a live TV show in which two ‘tributes’ (a twelve- to eighteen-year-old, of each gender) from each of the 12 districts are pitted against the other 23. It’s a YA dystopian romance, with a bit of sci-fi. 

The characters were really well written. Some of my favourites were Katniss, Cinna and Gale. I hated Snow, and was disgusted at the Capitol’s cruelty. 

The action started really quickly, with the author managing to work in all the background information as the story went on. This makes it great to re-read, as you don’t have to go through a long description that you already know. 

I give this book 4.5/5. I highly recommend it, and the rest of the trilogy (Mockingjay’s my favourite). 

Happy reading!
