Is The Hunger Games a thriler?


The genre that I am reading is adrenaline and thriller. The book that I have chosen to read for this unit is The Hunger Games. I chose this because I think that it is a very popular book and I think that I will really like it because I really like the movies. One of the main authors for adrenaline is an author named Jeff Abbott. Some of the most popular books in the adrenaline genre are Adrenaline by Jeff Abbott, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larrson. These are just a few of the many loved adrenaline books, a lot of these books are directed and intended for teens. Some characteristics that make a thriller book a thriller are that it has to be a fast paced book, no parts that you are getting bored with, there should be lots of plot twists, there should be suspense when you’re reading it, and the reader should be on the edge of their seat at all times. You should never want to put the book down when you’re reading a thriller because there is so much excitement. These are all characteristics of a good adrenaline or thriller book. Some awards that are given to adrenaline and thriller books are mostly things like best paperback book, best hard cover book, best adrenaline book, etc. I researched more that would be specific to the adrenaline and thriller genre but I couldn’t find any. One of the bestselling books in this genre was The Hunger Games. This was one of the most best-selling books in the thriller and adrenaline genre. From what I have searched about the adrenaline and thriller genre is that my book fits perfectly in this genre. The book that I am reading is The Hunger Games; this is one of the bestselling adrenaline books so it defiantly fits under this genre. I also know its adrenaline because it has a ton of plot twists and I am always at the edge of my seat. I think I picked a great book for this unit and I found that it really fits under this genre. I got a lot of this information from goodreads and amazon.
