Review
The Hunger Games is an awesome action packed dystopian novel that really lives up to the hype. I enjoyed the fact that the hero in this story was a girl and I could really relate to that (as most females do). The only problem that I had with this novel was the fact that Katnis doubted herself throughout the novel. She never though she was good enough or capable to handle any situation when she really was the most capable in the whole novel. I also enjoyed the budding romance between Katnis and Peta and I look forward to reading more about the reluctant (on katnis end) romance in the next few novels.
