The Hunger Games

A very violent but popular dystopian book about a world where kids are chosen to fight to death for entertainment

To look out for:

Islamic values: The entire death game is viewed as entertainment, which many characters resent but most accept. The main character makes questionable decisions, and kills a boy who kills her friend. She later on kills another boy (it’s a coup de grace). A female appears naked in front of stylists (who are so manicured they hardly seem human). A character tells his friend killing humans is like killing animals.

Romance: A boy and a girl are forced to pretend to be in love in order to survive (this will gain them sponsors). They kiss at the end and continuously pretend to be infatuated with each other.

Violence: Very, very violent. Bloody deaths (of children), bad burns, terrible cuts (that lead to blood poisoning). Wolf mutations violently attack a character.
