The last two books I have read have been outstanding! I've been hearing things about The Hunger Games for awhile, but just never brought myself to read it. At the end of the school year the high school girl that helps in my classroom carried it into the room and set it down and went to work. Since I was on a prep I asked her about it. I knew I had to read the book when she told me she doesn't typically like to read but she loved the book. I totally agree with her! The writing was excellent and left me with vivid pictures of what the characters and District 12 would look and feel like. The arena came to life during the actual Hunger Games with the writing style. I also enjoyed the way the characters and relationships evolved during the story. I finished the book last night and immediately downloaded the next book, Catching Fire, and started it. Like usual, I will only post the B&N synopsis so I don't give too much away. This is the second book in a matter of weeks that receives all 5 stars!
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games.
