PLOT OVERVIEW Kat Everdeen has been chosen to represent her District in the Hunger Games. Now she is in a televised fight to the death. Survival is the only thing that matters.

REVIEW I cannot imagine fighting to the death, but after reading Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins I feel like I have seen a glimpse of what it would be like. Suzanne Collins' book deals with the themes of power and survival. Hunger Games warns us of the dangers of a too-powerful, corrupt government, but it provides hope in the characters who choose to survive and dare to stand up to a system that creates hatred, death, and hunger. Hunger Games is one of my new favorite books. The use of the Games to "control" the people reminds me of Nazis during WWII, the Soviet Union, & the Roman gladiator games. The characters that Collins' has created are strong and complex. Kat and Peeta are two unlikely heroes. Kat has always been a survivor, ever since her father died and she began taking care of her family. Peeta is the strong and silent type. He is in love with Kat. There is more to him than meets the eye. Many times he appears to be something that he is not, but he always remains true to himself. My favorite part is when Kat is showing her skills to the judges. When she feels like the judges are not really paying attention, she takes matters into her own hands in an unexpected way.

''I can't go down without a fight. Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to show the Capitol they don't own me.''

''The rules of the Hunger Games are simple. Each of the twelve districts must provide one girl and one boy., called tributes. Over a period of several weeks, the competitors must fight to the death. The last tribute standing wins.''

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy adventure, science fiction, survival, and suspense. As a reader, you will quickly become immersed in the story and characters. You feel the stress, fears, thrills, losses, etc. that the characters experience.
