Young Adult Book Review: The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games is one of the best written books I have ever read.  It has the perfect amount of suspense that will keep you reading until the end.  Katniss Everdeen an Peeta Mellark are definitely two of the most amazing characters I have ever read and the love story that evolves between them is a very strong one.  While Peeta and Katniss are in the hunger games they form an alliance.  The creator of the games then allowed two players from the same district to win.  Whether they win or not, you'll just have to read the book!
