Wow....just wow. Absolutely amazing. Honestly, equally emotional and fantastic because new I read it. I really don't be aware of how to start this review!

To exhibit the districts how superior Capitol is, each year two children, one boy the other girl from each district, are chosen to combat towards the death inside Hunger Games. 24 enter, 1 arrives.

Y'all need to understand that I am not and emotional person with regards to books. No, I promise I am not saying heartless, I just now don't cry easily. Yes, during books my pulse accelerates and I'll shame the characters, but I don't actually cry. This can be one of many only books where We've come this all-around tears. And thats saying something.

Before I buy into all of the emotional thing about this book, I wish to first talk about the characters.

Katniss is fantastic. She's incredibly strong and fierce. Now, that's my personal favorite style of heroine and I understand that sometimes these begin to blend together but something I adore about her is always that although she might be these items like a lot of other heroines in existence, she's accomplishment lovable and witty similar to others. She's standoffish plus a loner and it also uses a long time for someone for getting right through to her. She's mature beyond her years because she has to become. She took over as sole supporter of her family at this sort of early age plus it hardened her. She's a survivor. But sometimes this tough exterior became her downfall because she couldn't always see what's right in front of her: the belief that people cherish her. However, although its challenging past her hardened exterior, as soon as you do, she is a remarkably kind and admirable person. This is particularly shown through her actions with the reaping. She cared so much on her behalf family she was willing to risk her lifetime, if you know her chances for coming back home were slim, only to keep her sister safe. If this isn't ought to have respect, then I have no idea what's.

Peeta can be another great character. He's pretty much the entire complete opposite of Katniss. He's personable, caring, and charming. He truly really cares about Katniss even when she can't notice herself. Even when you avoid getting to find out to much about him because this is from Katniss' perspective, you may still identify that he's got admirable qualities too. Normally I prefer the alpha male plus the bad-boy (I assume its kinda my weakness) however i do also be seduced by the sweet, respectful guys and that i fell head-over-heels for his heart.

As for secondary characters? Amazing. Each was unique in her own way. Effie, sweetly oblivious Effie. Haymitch, who may drink somewhat to much, but includes a heart under that surly exterior. Cinna, who truly really cares about Katniss though he hardly knows her. The other tributes each had his or her personalities that built them into unique (Don't even get me going on Rue!).

This book was only so incredibly emotional. 24 kids enter into an arena simply 1 comes out. I honestly can't even imagine being in their situation. I realize that I would do whatever it took to survive, but exactly how would that change me? Each tribute was just seeking to survive. They didn't wish to be there (well, except a number of), but were forced to be. When your facing your immediate death, how would you act? Survival changes people. These different reactions for their situations were shown remarkably well through the various tributes. Collins' does an amazing jobs of showing how people would fare in cases like this. While each of the bloodshed in the arena itself is disturbing, the most annoying thing in my opinion was the fact the people on the Capitol enjoyed it. Children were dying and them that it was just entertainment. They were completely oblivious!! That it was all just a game for them. Providing these were entertained, these people were happy. That it was sick. Completely and utterly sick.

Also to be honest, I felt awful for that other tributes, whilst they made an effort to kill Katniss and Peeta. How may you not? We were holding thrown into a situation a lot of them weren't prepared for and just looking for home. While they were her enemies, I felt pity and guilt right in addition to Katniss. She, too, understands that these people were only doing what you was required to just do like she was.

The Hunger Games may be a dark book about death and destruction, but within its dark exterior is really a beautiful story packed with survival, hope and fighting for what you like.
