So I have been a busy little reader these last few weeks and decided that since I held out in seeing the movie until I read the book best to review it as well. WOW! What a great story is all I have to say. It starts with 16 year old Katniss Everdeen and her friend Gale in the woods hunting on the day of the reaping which is where the capitol chooses at random the name of a boy and a girl that are between the ages of 12-18 for a fight to the death in the arena of the Hunger Games. Katniss' sister is chosen and Katniss volunteers to take her place for the tribute of district 12. The boy is named Peeta who unknowingly will change the very nature of the games. They then travel to the capitol and are put on display for the entire county to see as they prep for the fight of there life. As they go into the arena they form a bond that survives all sorts of bumps in the road, the story is wonderful and keeps you on the edge of your chair.
I loved every minute of this book and couldn't put it down. It only took me a day to read it, and I can't get over what a wonderful writer Suzanne is, to paint these vivid pictures of what all the characters are going through. One of my new favorite books :)
