The Hunger Games

-

 The Hunger Games. Wait, ”Hunger Games!?”“Do they have an eating competition?” The ones who’ve not read Hunger Games, you really are missing out on some good stuff there. 


This novel is a 2008 dystopian novel by the American author, Suzanne Collins. This book is written in the mind and voice of a 16 year old girl Katniss Everdeen who lives in the future, post-apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis, controls over the whole political situation of the nation. Whew, never want to live there now!


This book is amazing! Why may you ask? It’s because of the suspense and action which keeps the audience engaged in the book. Also because the book was written in the mind of Katniss Everdeen, a unique individual who had flaws that we could relate to, such as the compulsion to put others ahead of her. 


How did Suzanne Collins come up with such an interesting idea? She actually went through this whole situation. No, I’m just kidding! She was inspired by the Iraq war. Based on true events, I found it edge-of-the-seat gripping and I’m sure you would too. 


The idea of Hunger Games would look disturbing but honestly speaking, it’s not. This book not only teaches you about life, but also keeps you focused and thinking. The Capitol is cruel at points in the story, which makes you think if sometimes the justice system can be unfair? All the districts are treated fairly, yet don’t some people and places suffer for food and basic needs? Hunger Games is an engrossing mix of eye-opening reality and fast-paced fiction which puts it in a genre of its own. 


I really recommend this book and I’m saying this from first-hand experience. I truly loved it and it made me read further into the series. 



Goodbye fellow bookworms!

  Runaways vania madan “Do you remember,” said Troy, “the day we first met?” Markus glanced at him from across the table, a cup of tea slowly growing cold between the cradle of his hands. “As if I could forget,” he replied, too exhausted to smile. He wanted to be able to give Troy that small comfort, that reassurance, even if things were… the way they were.  “Yeah.” Troy drummed restless fingers against the tabletop. “Pity we’re gonna kill each other at sunrise, then, huh?” Mark looked away, bitter taste filling his mouth. “Don’t… don’t say it like that.” “Don’t say it like what?” He couldn’t see Troy’s expression, but he could hear the irritation in his voice. Normally, it would take hell and heaven to make Troy snap at him. Normally, animosity wouldn’t fester between them like a dark secret, or an untreated wound beneath their gold-lined tunics. Normally, all it took would be a shared look and a soft, exasperated sigh for all to be forgiven. Normally, they were kinder to eac...
