The Hunger Games

The book is written by Suzanne Collins. The name of the book is The Hunger Games. It is mostly about a girl named Katniss that had taken her sisters place in the games. The book describes what Katniss has to go through before the games start especially the opening ceremonies. The open ceromonies are for the tributes to represent their district. Two kids are chosen from each disrict it is also supposed to be a girl and a boy. The two kids have to be between ages 12 and 18. But are chosen randomly by the govenment. Did i mention that once the games start everything is shown on the T.V. becauseit is a live T.V. show. And in order yo win each player has to kill each other.

"I need to get down , to get going , but for a moment i lie there , digesting what ive heard. Not only is Peeta with the the Careers, hes helping them find me. The simpleminded girl who has to be taken seriously because of her 11. Because she can use a bow and arrow. Which Peeta knows better than anyone." This is a quote directly from the book that says the main problem of the book.

The book was really good. I liked it because it is iinteresting on what Katniss is seeing in the game. It is really brave to see bodies laying on the ground before being picked up. I would recommend the book to readers that enjoy reading action and a little romance every now and then. But action is mostly involved.
