This book is a futuristic dystopia that takes place in Panem (future North America). Panem is divided into 12 districts. Once a year, two teens from each district are selected to compete in the Hunger Games, a televised event in which they are pitted against one another in a dangerous arena. The story follows Katniss, a resourceful 16-year-old who volunteers for the games in place of her little sister. I had initially read this book a few years ago and wanted to refresh my memory since the film version is coming out soon. It was even better this time around. Though at times it can be brutal and depressing, that does not overshadow the overarching themes of bravery, love, and perseverance.
I am soooooo pumped about this movie! :D
