(me cozy in bed, with my book...you know the saying a reader never goes to bed alone...)
All I heard all over the internet was how amazing this book was, so of course I had to read it, to find out for myself. I was not dissapointed!! This book was totally captivating, and I finished it in less than a day. I loved Katniss' character, she was just so strong, but had such a relatable side, you really respect her for her survival instinct. The book was rather fast-paced...with very little introduction, and explaining the characters life throughout the novel, breaking it up, which keeps the action moving, and allows character insight. The authors writing style was very easy to read, very flowing. It creates questions over what you would do to survive...these people are pushed into situations where they are forced to kill each other. Their is a real sense of an overall loss of humanity here.
The author cleverly keeps you on your toes with Peetas' character. I could never tell what was part of the game, and what wasn't. Personally I still don't trust him...I guess we'll find out in 'Catching Fire'! (When I actually get around to ordering it) I instantly really liked Gales' character, even though he was only in the book for a chapter or two...I know he'll be a favourite of mine in the next book.
This was beautifully written, but in a very down to earth way. With lovely descriptions, and realistic characters...
There is so much I could say about this book, and also not alot at all...it is one of those books you simply must read for yourself. So I will keep this brief.
I give it a 10/10 rating, yes it's that good!
Next book review will most likley be on 'Touch of Power' by Maria V Snyder :)
