The Hunger Games

     The Hunger Games is written by Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games follows a 16 year old girl named Katniss. She lives in a nation called Panema. In Panema there are 12 districts. Each year the have the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is where a boy and a girl from each district gather in an arena and fight to the death. To choose the boy and girl they have a reaping. Ones name can be placed in it multiple times. This is where the story begins!

     Katniss lives with her mother and her sister, Prim. Katniss starts off the day of the reaping with her best friend Gale. They always go hunting in the woods together because Katniss loves using her bow and arrow. After hunting she goes home and heads to the reaping with Prim, her 12 year old sister(the youngest age for the reaping) and Prim is terrified of being called. However, Prim is chosen for the girls and Katniss volunteers to take her place! The boy chosen is Peeta and Katniss has a small connection with this boy. As a couple they draw attention to themselves in many ways. As the go in the arena to fight to the death who will survive?

     The hunger games is a very intense, action, adventure, romance book. The book hooks teenagers easily because it is a little bit of everything. I think Suzanne Collins wrote this book extremely well for the components she pit into it. It is fast paced and exciting! This book can be violent, so if you don't like violence or kids trying to kill other kids, I suggest not reading this book. On the other hand if you don't mind a little, go ahead and read this book! I give this book an A+. Here is a link to the movie trailer that is out already. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FovFG3N_RSU (this has two trailer in one video)
