The Hunger Games by Suzanne CollinsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was a little leary about the Hunger Games since it seemed to be the new Twilight, and I think everyone knows what a dissappointment that was to me. But I loved Katniss, Peeta, and Rue. I loved the way Collins chose to narrate it with a stream-of-conscience first person POV. It was perfect, keeping you in the middle of action, and you felt as trapped and desperate as Katniss did. First-person past-tense wouldn't have had the immediacy, and third-person would have made the reader feel as voyeristic as the rest of the Capitol citizens watching the Games. The plot was fantastic, yet believeable and the relationships were beautifully done. Excellent!
