Inside the ruins of the place once called United states lies the world of Panem, a shining Capitol enclosed by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all for you one boy and something girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate inside annual Watch The Hunger Games Online, a fight for the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone along with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps to take her sister's devote the Games. But Katniss is close to dead before-and survival, for my child, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she gets to be a contender. However, if she's to win, she will have to start making choices that may weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Wow....just wow. Absolutely amazing. Honestly, just like emotional and fantastic because the very first time Someone said it. I don't have any idea where do you start this review!

To demonstrate the districts how superior Capitol is, each and every year two children, one boy the other girl from each district, are chosen to fight for the death within the Hunger Games. 24 enter, 1 happens. Allow Seventy-Fourth Hunger Games begin.

Y'all need to understand that I am not and emotional person on the subject of books. No, I promise I'm not heartless, I simply don't cry easily. Yes, during books my heartrate accelerates and I'll feel bad for the characters, even so don't actually cry. This can be one of the only books where We have come this in close proximity to tears. And thats saying something.

But before I buy into the many emotional thing book, I want to first discuss the characters.

Katniss is fantastic. She's incredibly strong and fierce. Now, that's the most popular type of heroine i know that sometimes these commence to blend together but something I love about her is although she could possibly be these matters like countless other heroines out there, she's not really lovable and witty similar to most others. She's standoffish plus a loner and it also has a very long time for a person for getting through to her. She's mature beyond her years because she has to become. She took over as sole supporter of her family at this kind of early age and it also hardened her. She's a survivor. But sometimes this hard exterior became her downfall because she couldn't always see what's right in front of her: the reality that people love her. However, although its difficult to get past her hardened exterior, when you finally do, she's a tremendously kind and admirable person. Many of the shown through her actions for the reaping. She cared a lot on her family she was able to risk her life, with the knowledge that her chances for coming back home were slim, simply to keep her sister safe. If this isn't value respect, next, i do not know what is.

Peeta is also a great character. He's basically the complete opposite of Katniss. He's personable, caring, and charming. He truly cares about Katniss even though she can't find it herself. Even though you aren't getting to understand to much about him since this is from Katniss' perspective, you may still note that she has admirable qualities too. Normally I like the alpha male plus the bad-boy (I guess its kinda my weakness) however do also fall for the sweet, respectful guys we fell head-over-heels for his heart.

As for secondary characters? Amazing. Each was unique in their own way. Effie, sweetly oblivious Effie. Haymitch, who may drink a bit to much, but incorporates a heart under that surly exterior. Cinna, who truly really cares about Katniss though he hardly knows her. The other tributes each had his or her personalities that made them unique (Don't even get me started on Rue!).

This book was just so incredibly emotional. 24 kids begin an arena simply 1 arrives. I honestly can't even imagine finding myself their situation. I know that we would do whatever it loved survive, but exactly how would that change me? Each tribute was only seeking to survive. They did not need to be there (well, except a few), but were expected to be. When your facing your immediate death, how would you act? Survival changes people. These different reactions to their situations were shown remarkably well through all of the different tributes. Collins' does an incredible jobs of showing how different people would fare in this situation. While the many bloodshed in the arena itself is disturbing, the most annoying thing for me was the fact the folks from the Capitol enjoyed it. Children were dying as well as them it turned out just entertainment. These folks were completely oblivious!! It was all only a game to them. As long as these people were entertained, they were happy. It was sick. Completely and utterly sick.

Also to be honest, I felt awful for the other tributes, even as they attempted to kill Katniss and Peeta. How may you not? These people were thrown into a situation a lot of them weren't ready for and just hoping to get home. While they were her enemies, I felt pity and guilt right in conjunction with Katniss. She, too, understands that these people were only doing the things they had to do exactly like she was.

The Hunger Games might be a dark book about death and destruction, but within its dark exterior can be a beautiful story filled with survival, hope and fighting for you're keen on.
