I have read a lot of the opening parts of this work and it is well worth the read to get a metaphoric example of a serious challenge that had to be undergone by various types of people. The book is more of a metaphor if anything else and shows you in many ways that can be expressed, the sickness, the conspiracy and the conflict humanity faces. It practically represents the actual movie itself. I preferred this more than even Hunger Games to be honest which has a similar storyline but this is more brutal and shows the savagery at its finest with artistic splendour.
