This book has guts of steel!
It's violent, jarring(in a good way), hardcore, suspenseful, and has a very kick-ass heroine! What more could I ask for?!

The capitol is divided in 12 districts, and every year, a televised event called The Hunger Games is celebrated.

In the most unlikely of places.

The Hunger Games was an easy read. A nice mix of action, romance and political angst. In my opinion, it's not Sci Fi in the traditional sense, but it was wonderfully dystopian. For the first book of a series, it was perfect. The only thing that would have moved my rating to a five would have been if the story was a more pure form of science fiction.

finally, a book with a strong female lead who is not obsessed with falling in love. the struggle to survive is real and so are the reasons to fight.
