I had been hearing about this book for some time and I finally got the chance to read it. This is one of those books that you just don't want to put down. I started it around 4:00 in the afternoon and finished it around 3:00 in the morning. : )
For those who haven't read the book the plot is as follows -
Katniss a teenage girl from a postapocalyptic Appalachia takes the place of her younger sister in a brutal competition. 24 teenagers ages 12-18 are placed in a televised reality show where the last one still alive wins.
Throughout the book you grow to despise those who create and enjoy the Hunger Games. The book is distrubing on many levels but at the end of reading the book I had one primary question. Do people like reading the Hunger Games, myself included, for the same reasons that people in the book liked watching them?
If you have an opinion or just liked the book yourselve please leave a comment below.
