The Hunger Games

I just recently finished "The Hunger Games". I must admit, I was somewhat hesitant to begin this story. Sometimes books for young adults can be kind of edgy and what I read on the jacket cover didn't ease the concerns that I had at all. I am glad to say that as I got into the book, I found a well-crafted story and a interesting story plot. It was certainly futuristic but like all well written science fiction, it built the rules and then abided by them. I found it completely believable. I liked the resolution of the story but it also left the distinct impression that there was more to come and that the story was not yet done. All in all, it was a good experience. It was certainly for entertainment value. Would I consider it a classic and read it again? Probably not. Sometimes it helps to have another opinion and so I found this review of the same book. I hope that it helps you in your reading choices. Find a quiet corner and enjoy! CCB The Hunger Games
