The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

For my book report I read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I thought The Hunger Games was so amazing because it had so much detail and it was filled with action and drama. It is about this girl Katniss who lives in District 12 with her mother and her little sister Prim. And her family is very poor and her and her friend Gale go out hunting so Katniss can feed her family. And every year for all the 23 districts, they do an even called the Hunger Games. This is where they pick a boy and a girl from each district and they take them to an arena and they have to survive in the middle of basically nowhere and they also basically have to kill everyone to win. So whoever is the last one living wins and gets to go back to their district. In district 12 though they have only had one winner from along time ago named Haymitch who pretty much helped them get prepared for the games. Though at the reaping which is where they pick the people's names for the Hunger Games, Prim, Katniss's 12 year old sister, gets picked which leaves Katniss in total shock. Unexpectedly, Katniss runs up the stage and volunteers to switch with Prim. Though Prim still doesn't want her to go but Katniss wants to do it for her sister. But then, they had to pick the boy, and the boy who got picked was Peeta, the last one who came up to Katniss's mind. She kept on thinking to herself, "Why Peeta!? Why him?" This was because when Katniss's family was starving to death, and Peeta didn't even know her, he gave her a piece of bread. And the only time they have seen eachother was at school. Though now Katniss was worried that she had to owe him something now. It gets very suspenseful wondering what their relationship will be like at the games. When they start heading for the training place, they are offered with tons of food, which leaves Katniss very happy unlike at District 12 where they have minimum offerings of food. Then after all the training they had done, they had to show the Career Tributes how good they were and they were going to announce in TV their scores. Katniss was the last one to go, after Peeta, though when she went she thought she ruined the whole thing because she though the career tributes were paying more attention to the food they had. So then she aimed her arrow to the apple on the table and made it right in the middle of the apple which left the career tributes shocked and staring at her. Then she left. Next day she was waiting nervously for the score. Ends up, she got the highest score! They ended up liking her attitude. Then after all the interviews, they were ready to go to the arena and start the Hunger Games. They found out the arena took place at a place where they sloughter pigs. Though they basically made it look like a forest. When they went in they were placed on a silver platform waiting for the horn to play which meant the games started. Though infront of them, a few feet away, were a bunch of stuff to survive. When the horn rang, everyone started killing eachother over everything! Though Katniss managed to get some things. Though that's when all the action started! I will not say everything that happened because I don't want to spoil it but it was really good. Though it was so suprising when the host announced that a whole tribute can come back together and not just one single person! Though the one twist Peeta and Katniss had to do was that they had to pretend they were in love to get a lot of sponsors. Its gets suspenseful every chapter. I basically cried when I was reading! Though I am giving part of the end away… They won! But there is more after that! So if you love drama and action then read this book cause it awesome!
