HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins

-



“I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun.” 


Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister’s place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender.

If she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love


How can I describe this dystopia??? A FUCKTABULOUS BOOK I PROCLAIM! Really, it is. The way Collins introduced to us a very-fucked up society was pretty amazing. She was indeed a smart one. The world of the Hunger Games was pretty tragic ableit cool! I love how kick-ass this book is! The flow was also smart. It was able to properly set the settings in a reader's mind with 100 % clarity. A kind of book like this would be really hard to deliver in writing bur Collins did it. It was a wonderful kick-ass brutal book with a tiny bit of romance and a whole lot of survival.


I love the game itself. How each character represent a district and had to be placed in a area... It was fantastic to witness how they battle it out. I also learned a lot of survival methods in this book. It was entertaining and informative. I believe this book contain symbols or something like that which connects to our current society right now... it just happens to be in this book the level of brutality and unfairness were put up to a notch and exaggerated a bit. I love the hidden lessons and the obvious one.


I can't express my thought properly now since I read Hunger Games months ago but I do remember liking it so much. The deaths was horrifying, the systems was unfair but hey! THAT IS HUNGER GAMES.


If you are a fan of dystopian kick-ass books! HUNGER GAMES IS A MUST-READ! Totally entertaining!

THE GOLDEN LILY by Richelle Mead

“Nothing he said could change what I think of you. I've had my mind made up about you for a long time... and it's all good.” Sydney would love to go to college, but instead, she’s been sent into hiding at a posh boarding school in Palm Springs, California–tasked with protecting Moroi princess Jill Dragomir from assassins who want to throw the Moroi court into civil war. Formerly in disgrace, Sydney is now praised for her loyalty and obedience, and held up as the model of an exemplary Alchemist. But the closer she grows to Jill, Eddie, and especially Adrian, the more she finds herself questioning her age–old Alchemist beliefs, her idea of family, and the sense of what it means to truly belong. Her world becomes even more complicated when magical experiments show Sydney may hold the key to prevent becoming Strigoi—the fiercest vampires, the ones who don’t die. But it’s her fear of being just that—special, magical, powerful—that scares her more than anything. Equally

It was like he took me apart and put me back together with that kiss.” Evie and Leo met in foster care as children and formed a bond of friendship. As they grew, their bond turned to love, and they vowed to make a life together when they turned 18 and were no longer a part of the system.
