The Hunger Games
Premise: Teenagers between the age of 12-18 from 12 districts are sent to the capital city of Panem for a fight to the death on live TV, which occurs only to secure the dominance and supremacy of the Capital. The Hunger Games ensure the citizens of the districts never even think about rebelling against the regime.
The writing is mediocre. The execution solid but nothing special and definitely not surprising. The end isn’t very imaginative. The characters didn’t really have to grow, there was no character development. Of course, the idea is very intriguing and despite its flaws, Collins manages to keep the story interesting. Which is why I will read the next two books.
