Well, my group is reading The Hunger Games by New York Times bestselling author, Suzanne Collins. Before I read the book, based on the panel, its about a girl taking care of her mother and sister, who took her sister's place in the Games. Apparently, it also contains parts of suspense, philosophy, adventure, and romance.
Up to where I am reading, I say it is basically describes how the main character, Katniss Everdeen, and her daily routines in her hometown, District 12, a poor town filled with coal miners. As it goes on, she talks about her relations to the people around the Seam and this 'special' event called the Hunger Games, hence the title of the book. As I read the book, I was curious of how the Capitol shows it superiority by funding this hunter game. I at first assumed might involve hunting as a special event until I realize this: it is a hunting game, BUT you are not just killing the animals, you are to survive and kill the contestants from each district to win the game. Once this hit my on the head, I thought the game might involve cannibalism, but I have yet to know, since I'm just reading the events before the game started.
I really like the description of the main character's memories and her personality, as if you can vision her almost the same as the author might have. So far, it shows her reactions toward the major events such as her sister being picked for the Games and the other contestant in her district, Peeta, admits falling in love with her. Unfortunately, the first section ends there, so there is a bit of suspense stopping there. The one question for my partners is this:
* How will the other contestants react towards Peeta's confession? Will he be the first target once the game starts?
