I can't tell you just how AWESOME this book is! The actual Hunger Games doesn't start til about a third, maybe half way through (I can't check right now, I've leant out my copy), but the build up sucks you in even before the Games start. I love the whole Miss World feel of it, where there's a Q&A wih the competitors, and they're dressed up and pampered to look amazing - just to make the audience love them, and hope the rich of Panem sponsor them so they get gifts while in the arena. And once there, the efforts people go to to survive, it's kind of disturbing, but I couldn't put the book down. Seriously, it's gripping, and the whole strategy of a game plan that we see in reality TV is essential, so how the whole thing is set up... it's just mind blowing, and I LOVE IT! It is now right up there with my favourite books! I highly recommend it if you haven't read it!
