The Hunger Games – Suzanne Collins<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

When a new country rises up from what was once North America, the leaders keep control of their citizens through the Hunger Games, a yearly “competition” where two children, one male and one female, from each of the twelve districts battle to the death.\u00a0 This year, Katniss Everdeen has volunteered to take her younger sister’s place in the Games, and must survive against 23 other chosen children, including a childhood acquaintance who once showed her kindness.<\/p><\/div>\n

Suzanne Collins has crafted a world where one could believe that such a contest could be held.\u00a0 Katniss may\u00a0just be the next breakthrough\u00a0literay character, following Lisabeth Salander from the Millennium Trilogy.\u00a0 As it is, Collins has completed a trilogy of her own, and\u00a0Katniss will be right behind Salander in heading to the big screen in the US.\u00a0 I certainly look forward to the next\u00a0adventure for these characters, assuming I can borrow the book from my niece.\u00a0<\/div>\n
