By Suzanne Collins
Finally, after months, maybe even years of hearing about it, I picked up The Hunger Games. This is one of the books I had to read in 2012, and it feels good to check it off the list.
Collins' book places us in a gritty dystopian world where kids pay the heaviest price for the sins of their forebearers.
The book is well written, but there are instances when Collins tells rather than shows us what's happening. This is very common when one narrator is relied upon to tell the story. There were also some predictable moments, but in all, this was an interesting and engaging story. I highly recommend this to the few people left in the world who haven't already read it yet.
Coming up I'll have a review of The Hunger Games movie and a book vs. the movie comparison.
