let the hunger games begin..and may the odds be ever in your favour..
After months of being smothered with the candy love story of twilight,I finally get to experience a breath of fresh air..the story I admit,may not be everybody's cup of tea..- a somewhat violent,brutal,post apocalyptic take on the world through the eyes of a teenager? quite the antithesis of our sugar romance of twilight..unlike the Meyer franchise,the hunger games needn't have vampires to depict brutality..instead it teaches us how even a bunch of innocent human teenagers can kill for survival..when the times comes.
Our hero here is Katniss Everdeen,a tough 16 year old girl who struggles.to make ends meet for her,sister Prim and her mother,in a world ruled by the dictatorship of the Capitol city,Katniss finds herself thrown into the uncertainty of death as a volunteer tribute in the tyrannical hunger games..she is joined by Peeta Mellark.a stranger.from her past.As they go on to play the game of survival to fight to the death..only one victor,is to remain.
.Collins keeps us on the edge regarding the rocky relationship between these two..till we finally realise Peeta is our Edward Cullen..well..somewhat..
Katniss's best friend,Gale hardly features in this edition,but we expect a lot of emotional conflict from her regarding these two men in the sequel.
Suzanne Collins crafts an intriguing story of survival and violence in this masterpiece of a book..she also shares a few important lessons of life,loyalty,trust and most importantly,love..
This book is definitely not for the faint-hearted.However,at the same time,it's a book that will blow you away!
move over..twilight!
