Hello! My name is Chie. I am likely to be the girl you'll see whose eyes would bulge out of their sockets at the sight of a book store and be seized by waves of epileptic shock whenever there is a book bargain. I'll probably be the one pushing you out of my way to get through the book bargain bins and tediously combing through the pile. (I forget my manners when it comes to books). I am tone deaf and have two left feet. But I would endure the embarrassment of a performance in exchange for books (terms and conditions apply). I have created this blog in order to find kindred souls. Those who would gladly share the same passion for books and reading because although reading is solitary task most of the time, it's no fun having no one to ramble to after..
Synopsis: Could you surivive 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 in the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as death sentence when she keeps 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 survival against humanity and life against love.
Review: Wow. Simply wow. I am awed by this book and to be dead honest with you, I don't actually know what to say. This novel was perfection, real, sweet perfection. Tried reading The Hunger Games moment after I bought the whole series but didn't like it, got up to Chapter Four and had to stop. But one time out of boredom, tried reading it again. I finished it in 2-3 days. Thinking back, I am not actually sure why I didn't like it back then, but I loved it the second time around and that's all that matters.
The Hunger Games is a young adult dystopian novel that in the nation of Panem, lies a Capitol surrounded by twelve districts. To make sure the districts obey them, each year each district, has to send a boy and a girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, on live TV where they will fight to the death. 24 tributes. One winner.
It felt like that that time, I was probably the last person on earth to read The Hunger Games. When someone used to ask me if I had read The Hunger Games and I would reply with a no, they would just stare at me. And I'd be like yep, whilst looking awkwardly at the ground. I am very proud to say that I have read The Hunger Games. It was an excellent, original novel. A hauntingly possible idea, real, fierce but lovable characters and an abundance of action, The Hunger Games will leave you craving for more, and I am extremely happy that I have read this stunning piece of literature.
The idea, the book, everything was amazing. The Hunger Games was a brutal event that I hope will never take place in our world. It's a horrifying thought that one day, however it possibly could.
The plot was perfect not for one minute did I get bored. I was intrigued from the beginning but I literally couldn't remove my eyes from the pages once it was announced that the 74th Hunger Games had begun, that's when my attention was even more focused than before.
Katniss is my new favourite fictional heroine, in fact she is probably even a role model to me. She stands up for those she loves and will literally fight to the death for them. It was amazing looking at her strategies on how to win and I was cheering her on the whole way. And since reading The Hunger Games I even wanted to craft a bow and arrow from the trees in my garden and I want to begin an archery lessons.
Peeta to be honest, I didn't like him that much in the beginning but he grew on me, he really did. You could see he actually really liked Katniss and he thought the romance was real but Katniss thought it wasn't authentic and her viewpoint was that the romance was just for the games and that ending practically broke my heart. I feel so sorry for Peeta and I just want Katniss to make it right because you could see the pain emanating from him when she spoke about the romance strategies and how she wasn't sure about her feelings for him.
The writing was fantastic. Suzanne Collins is a fantastic author. Her descriptions were perfection and I could imagine everything so clearly, as if it were a movie being played in front of me, and throughout the book it felt like I was Katniss as if I was experiencing all the pain, all the suffering she was going through, and her need to survive.
The Hunger Games was phenomenal and I just want to shout from the rooftops about how epic this novel is, and I am pretty sure I'll have thousands of people agreeing with me how amazing it is. Dealing with love, loss, survival and inner strength. The Hunger Games will knock you off your feet. You will feel the characters' need to survive, and you can feel the tragedy that consumes them when one of the others they are close to, dies. You just feel everything.
