So, I recently bought a bunch of more books to read and the one that intrigued me the most is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I first read about it online and it reminded me of the popular and controversial Japanese movie Battle Royale. The major difference is that in the movie everyone knew each other and have been classmates for a while. In the book, however, which is set in the near future, none of the “subjects” knew each other. The story goes that the nation of Panem, a Capitol surrounded by twelve districts that lie in the ruins of what was known as America, holds an annual Hunger Games that forces one boy and one girl from each of the districts to fight to the death (to keep order). Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen from District Twelve takes her sister’s place in the Games and a fight for survival begins. It’s an entertaining book but the Japanese movie is somewhat better. There are many similarities between the two and I don’t want to spoil too much. Just read it, and watch the movie, it’s a great movie. Anyway, some other books I got include Heresy, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (1), The Girl Who Played With Fire (2), and Catching Fire (which is series #2 of The Hunger Games). If you can’t tell already I love historical fiction, especially the ones which deal with religion and knowledge and hidden secrets (true or not). I’d also recommend Ghostwalk and The Devil’s Labyrinth if you’re into historical fiction (killings and murders and shit). I’m also planning to read all seven Harry Potter again I LOVE HARRY POTTER!
