Hunger games by Suzanne Collins, Is the first book in the tioliogy of the Huger Games Series I am finding it an absolute page turner constantly entering my train of thought, not since I read the Power of One by Bryce Country has the injustice society can inflict on others that make up our humanity, gotten under my skin. Although set in a fictitious country, the brutality we can inflict on those who we rule over is amazing conflicting, the we in a matter of weeks can be reduce to living like animals when forced to fight for our survival. If you thought Lord of the flyers was an incitement of the human spirit - Hunger Games will set your spirit of fire as to rages agianist what we can be reduced to.
Each year a lottery is held to selected two constants to compete to a survival game in which only one will win and survive. The story is told by 16 year old Katniss. Who volunteers to take part in the Hunger Games for District 12. After her younger sister's name was drawn in the lottery the year she turned 12, the first year a person becomes eligible to compete. It is rare for someone to volunteer from district and only twice has district 12 won the games. There lives are now dependant on former winner and district drunk as he mentors Katniss and Peetz to compete. No one expects much from a competitor form district 12, until Katniss steps into the arena and casts her spell. . .
