Microreview: The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Dystopian, surprising, and compelling. I was occasionally annoyed at the smooth, made-for-Hollywood pacing and cliffhanger chapter endings, yet I was equally hooked by them. The main character is likable and strong yet fallible, the story is plenty suspenseful, and the allegory of a world after war and ecological devastation, where state-sanctioned violence is staged and televised and all relationships are monitored, is chilling.
