The Hunger Games is a beautifully written novel by Susanne Collins. It amazes me with it's ability to change my mood to something more appropriate for the text. There are other good things such as the extensive character building and vivid descriptive scenes. speaking of descriptions there were far too many of them that portrayed detailed blood and gore.
Katniss Everdeen is thrown into the Hunger Games by the wicked Capitol. the Hunger Games are a cruel way for the Capitol to keep the 12 districts in line. Every year the Capitol takes 24 boys and girls and forces them to fight to the death.
Even though it's kind of slow in the beginning I recommend this book to everyone with eyes
Ages 12 and up: blood and gore, violence.
Max, I'm so glad you are doing this. I am buying some books for my nephew for his birthday and I am going to take several from your list! I wouldn't have had any idea what to get him without you!
