I'm sure you've all read this. People have always asked me: "Gale or Peeta?" and I've never understood, now I finally do and I have to answer that with "Peeta, beyond doubt!" I've been meaning to read this book for a while but my dad lost the book for a while so I couldn't start it. Plus the movie's coming out and I really want to see it but I don't want to see it before I read the book. Anyways, my mom found it in our library Thursday and so I started it then and on Friday I was done. I'm already over half way into the second book. :D
This is a book about a girl named Katniss who is living in District 12 of the country Panem. Every year on reaping day a name is drawn from two bowls - one with girls's names and one with the boy's all ages 12-18. This happens in all 12 districts. The person who's name is drawn is forced to participate in The Hunger Games. The 24 contestants are placed in an arena where they fight until only one remains. Prim, Katniss's little sister, gets drawn from the girls bowl and Katniss instantly takes her place, knowing that Prim would never be able to survive. This is the story of The Hunger Games.
I have to say, this is a wonderful book. I ended up crying every chapter, if not more. This book sent many different emotions soaring through me. At the end, I was upset with some characters and I cried for nearly an hour wanting to have the second book next to me to I can read it now. Any of you going to go see the movie? I certainly am!
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action, adventure and romance. It's a gory topic but if you don't pay too much attention, it's really easy to not notice. You should totally read this book if you haven't already.
I would give this book a rating of 10/10 because although it made me cry and made me very angry, it was a fabulous book.
