Tess’s Reviews > The Hunger Games > Status Update

While some readers complained about the plain writing, I find that it adds to the starkness of the book's atmosphere. Plus, Katniss is from an area where they teach you enough to get by in the coal mines. Being that the book is narrated by her, it fits that the sentences & thoughts are on the simple side. Also, look who published the book & the age range it's geared towards.
