I loved the Hunger Games series. It was amazing! If you like sci-fi, this is the book for you. The Hunger Games is about a teenage girl, called Katniss Everdeen trying to protect her little sister, Primrose Everdeen. She protects her little sister so much, that when her sister's name gets picked to be in the annual hunger games she volunteers to take her sister's place. During the hunger games Katniss meets the other boy from her district that got chosen to be in the hunger games with her, Peeta Melark. Katniss also has a childhood friend named Gale that has always been there for her and taught her how to hunt for her family since her father is dead. So both Peeta and Gale are a love interest for Katniss. I can't tell you anymore, now you just have to figure out what is going to happen by going to the library and getting this book ASAP. :) In the end I hope you love this book as much as I did. Also thank you for taking the time to read this review for the Hunger Games books.
