Journal Entry 1 by SabinaLorenz from Wien Bezirk 19 - Döbling, Wien Austria on Friday, June 22, 2012
In the ruins of a place known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelfe outlying districts. The Capitol is harshly and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelfe and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year old Katniss Everdeen, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to death before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Brilliantly written, although the topic itself is awful and gruesome, the story itself draws the reader into it. I hardly could stop reading and I need to read book 2 and 3 of this trilogy!!! the end of book 1 is rather cliff-hanging: Katniss and Peeta will face the hurrah from district 12 when returning from the Games when Peeta just learned that Katniss might not love him. And the Capitol and President Snow do hate Katniss because of the trick with the berries to let them live at the end of the Games.
I guess, the return to district 12 is just a start to a new Game, in which maybe district 12 itself is the victim.
