Book Review of Hunger Games

Book Review of Hunger Games

          In a utopian future, and on the ruins of what once must have been a nation take up arms, the powerful nation of Panem forces the twelve districts that rise up against her in the past to pay a tribute of blood as two teenagers, a boy and a girl, who will become gladiators in a televised nationally known as the Hunger Games, which will have to fight each other until only one survivor left event. District 12 is prepared for the "harvest" and while Prim Everdeen is unlucky enough to be graceful to participate in the macabre show, her sister Katniss will be submitted voluntarily to prevent Prim die to the first change. Along with Peeta Mellark, Katniss will go to The Hunger Games tribute of their district and there will be coached by another time champion Haymitch Abernathy in order to survive and learn to make decisions that do not share.

          Hunger Games plays, and despite the redundancy, with all these ideas and refines a little more combining social repression, class struggle, future rebellion, media power, dubious morality, and could go on until tomorrow.

          I am one of the few who have discovered this book thanks to the film; But also it is a book that I loved from beginning to end, an addictive and action-packed book. The only thing that would make him the note is lower because the plot is not entirely original; there are films that have a very similar argument. But it is a book that, regardless of the part of the sand is not entirely 'original', we see a lot of originality by the author. Creates characters with a very defined character and at all levels. Each and every one of the characters are different and very real, which is appreciated infinity when reading a book, and I think that we all agree.

         It is a far-fetched fairy tale. But if you entangle in the details of the story, you might miss topics; inequality, irresponsible governance, violence against children, that resonates with the daily lives of millions of Hondurans.

          These books are not popular because we want to escape the world of Katniss Everdeen. They are a phenomenon because we suspect that your world is ours.

          In the world of The Hunger Games, the Capitol lives a life of wealth and extravagant consumption. Meanwhile, in the "districts", millions of people have dangerous jobs with low wages. While the Capitol wallows in excesses, districts can barely afford to feed their children.

         I really enjoyed reading the book with my friends, being able to identify and discuss similarities in our reality as in the book, really recommended to read it in an afternoon with a cup of coffee because I assure you that captivate someone more like me captive to me.
