I’ve always been fascinated with heroines. Who doesn’t want to be a lady killer in looks like Angelina Jolie and be physically trained to be a killer of the bad guys? Well guess what, this is one book you’ll surely love. Hunger Games is a novel by Suzanne Collins with an upcoming film of the same name to be released on March 2012. Yup, got really excited when I heard it’s going to be put on film!
It stars an unlikely heroine named Katniss Everdeen. Without any training, just relying on her sharp instincts and survival skills, she played the very deadly and twisted Hunger Games. It was a survival game. It was a game of making choices based on your morals, your beliefs and understanding of what is right or wrong for you. You either come out of it either alive or dead. Age, gender, appearance, wealth and skills won’t matter. What matters is that you can use any tactics as long as you’re the only one to stay alive after the game.
The upcoming film cast includes:
- Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen
- Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark
- Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy
- Willow Shields as Primrose Everdeen
- Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne
- Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket
- Lenny Kravitz as Cinna
- Paula Malcomson as Mrs. Everdeen
- Amandla Stenberg as Rue
- Alexander Ludwig as Cato
- Dayo Okeniyi as Thresh
- Isabelle Fuhrman as Clove
- Jacqueline Emerson as Foxface
- Leven Rambin as Glimmer
- Jack Quaid as Marvel
- Donald Sutherland as President Snow
- Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman
- Wes Bentley as Seneca Crane
- Latarsha Rose as Portia

Just don’t get it confused with the Twilight Saga since it was a very far cry from that movie although they were both novels put into films. Both movie and book of Hunger Games has a realistic approach and has a political appeal as well.
It was a very engaging book. A bit boring at the start, but a few pages more and you’ll definitely be hooked!
