A new Sci-Fi classic in the making, soon to be made into a film.
Like a mix of "The Running Man" and "Battle Royale" this book focusses on Katniss Everdeen, a 16 year old girl who ends up in "The Hunger Games" a fight to the death competition that takes place every year in this post-apocalyptic tale.
But Katniss already has skills to help her survive...and maybe win.
What can I say, it's a belter of a story! It races along and the characters and situation they find themselves in seem real.
I read this in a day, and as it's the first book in a trilogy, I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series.
If you like action, plot and characters you like and start to care about very early in the story then this is the book for you.
I should mention that it's a Young Adult book. Don't let that put you off, it's still a great read.
I give The Hunger Games 5 "Mockingjay Birds" out of 5
