The Hunger Games

I read it pretty much in two sittings both into the middle of the night. It is really a page-turner. The book was thrilling but never scary and not gratuitous about the violence.

I'm guessing that the hunger games are inspired by ancient Rome's arena games.

All in all, I really enjoyed the book. It was thrilling and engaging and highly entertaining. It was really a page-turner! I liked Katniss as a character most of the time and I thought most of her relationships were really interesting. And I am a sucker for survival fiction.
