The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games is one of my favorite books. It was written not long ago by Suzanne Collins. Shortly after being written it rocketed to one of the most read books of the year. I don't have trouble imagining why. It was a truly great book. The novel is about a girl called Katniss everdeen who lives in district 12 out of all 13 districts. However, district 13 doesn't exist anymore due to the rebelion  that  they held against the capital.
As a punishment to remind the districts that they have nothing without the capital and that justice will be brought if they rebel each year the capital holds an event called The Hunger Games. The rules are as follows each of the 12 districts choose one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to compete. Out of the 24 competeters only one will survive. They are put into an area beyond imagination that changes each year. While in the area they will fight to survive, fight against the other 23 teenagers and against the area itself.
The day where children are elected to represent their district is called the reaping. A woman comes from the capital and draws all a name from 2 large bowls. One from the boys bowl and one from the girls. A boy named Peeta is chosen and Prim, Katinisses 12 year-old sister. Desperate to save her Katniss volenteers as the female tribute to compete in the annual hunger games.
