Book | The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (2008)

      The Hunger Games is a science fiction novel by the American writer Suzanne Collins. It is written about  the 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America in  District 12 with mother and sister Prim. They are poor and so she goes hunting with her friend Gale in the woods. Each year, the Capitol selects children aged from 12 to 18 on the Hunger Games. At Harvest chose her sister, but Katniss was the tributes, instead of her, the second tributes was Peeta Mellark was the son of a baker.
     They went to the game, it all started with training and parade. Games beganon the first day was lost almost half of tributes. There they fight for life, Peeta teams up with a pro, and it saves his life for a while. Then Rue, a girl from District 11 assists Katniss. Then Peeta injuring a knife, the rules have changed, now can win two, if they are from the same district.
        Katniss rescues him, they spent three days in a cave, where she cared for him, and their mentor Haymitc, said Katniss how to handle with Peeta  where you have to to hug, where to kiss, Peeta  believed in her feelings. All this she played that people to think that they are star-crossed lovers. Peeta did not know about.
    End a bit in the book more than film. Capitol created the animals, which were rounded up the three finalists to the horn of plenty. Cato they tore it long tormented, after he said Katniss shooting him, so he do not suffer. Her and Peeta took the plane, there Peeta fell fainting, to him put the an artificial leg. Then Peeta found out that actually Katniss does not love it, for him is a big blow.
     This book makes think. I really feel sorry for Peeta, he loved Katniss, and she deceived him. It really hurts. I think that's the story and the book is very interesting. It can be read many times, that is why it bestseller. The film is very well embodied the story.
