“I want to do something, right here, right now, to shame them, to make them accountable, to show the Capitol that whatever they do or force us to do there is a part of every tribute they can't own.”

Every year in a place called Panem The Capitol, ruler of 12 districts, hosts a show to control all districts: The Hunger Games. From each district a boy and girl is chosen between the age twelve and eighteen to partake in this deadly event that’s aired live all over Panem. In the 74th Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen, from District 12, volunteers to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister Prim Everdeen. Before she leaves she promises Prim that she will win!

The Hunger Games are almost legendary. Everyone has read the books or seen the movies. But I never read these books. So finally I read one of these books. Why? Why did I wait so long to read this?! It was so good! It’s perfectly paced and kept me on the edge of my seat for almost the entirety of the book. But besides this it wasn’t a book with just only excitement. Although it was exciting, at the same time you felt guilty for enjoying being this excited about an awful and patriarchal society that likes to dominate the poor. Not only does it creates a good illustration of corruption and power its also a wonderfully example of a powerful and strong female. One that is perceived as being worthy by only being beautiful, but she shows she kicks some real butt.
So, it’s no surprise that I totally loved it. An absolute new favorite and I can’t wait to continue with the serie.
