The Hunger Games

For my sixth book i chose The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. This book's genre was fiction. I chose this book because a lot of people have said it was interesting and i took their word.
This book took place in a country named Panem(future North America) that is divided into 12 districts. One year the districts tried to rebel against the capitol and they failed. One district, District 13, was demolished that is why it doesn't exist anymore. The districts are punished by something called the Hunger games. One district has to give up two tributes to the games. A boy and a girl. Once to the arena the tributes have to kill each other to the death. The main character, Katniss, has a sister that was at first chosen at "Reaping Day". Reaping Day is when the capitol choses the tributes from a bucket of names( the tributes have to be between 12 and 18 years of age). Katniss volunteered so her sister did not have to go. The boy from District 12, Peeta, and Katniss did not have a great "friendship." Once in the arena Katniss gets as much distance between herself and the rest of the tributes. She does some brutal killings but you'll have to find out what they are yourself. Towards the end of the book two tributes(from the same district) are allowed to win. She then meets up with peeta and they survive to the last day. Then the gamemakers release a surprise and make it dangerous to fight the only other living tribute. I can't tell how they win.
I liked the whole book. But my favorite things about the book is that it is very discrptive, and that its a quick read. I didn't have anything i didn't like about the book. I would say this book is age apropriate for our age, topic wise people who like suspense will realy like his book. I would also reommend this book to a friend.
