16-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. But Katniss has been close to death before and survival, for her, is second nature.

I treated myself to The Hunger Games Trilogy last year. I loved the covers of the rebel editions, and my aim of 2016 was to read a trilogy.

I've never read these books before nor have I seen the films. So the hunger games doesn't mean a whole lot to me. Except it has a huge fanbase and something about District 12. So I've had a reading slump for a while and decided that this book would be something to hopefully bring me out of it. It's certainly done that.

I loved every inch of this book. The story keeps you captivated and wanting more. You are drawn into the world where the Hunger Games and thirteen, twelve districts exist. It's fast paced and full of death. You kinda forget that these are just children fighting to survive, to be the one who makes their district proud or to keep a promise made to their sister.

I loved Katniss as a character, she was fierce yet vunerable at times. I liked her relationship with Peeta but I'm hoping we see more of Gale in the second book. I liked how they "played" upto the viewers and how they both survived changing the games forever. The one part i felt bad at was Rue's death. I thought she was just sweet and innocent and how her and Katniss allied together was great. Just evil deaths!!

Cracking book. The rebel editions are really worth it!
