The Hunger Games

  The book I chose to read was The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It is the first book in The Hunger Gamers trilogy. It is a Science fiction, Young adult book. I chose this book because all my friends have read it and said it was really good.

  This book was about a 16 year old girl named Katniss Everdeen who lives in a world called Panem, where North America used to be. The is an annual event called The Hunger Games, which the Capitol's way of saying they rule Panem. It is an event where 2 kids from the ages of 12-18, a boy and a girl, from each of the 12 disrticts, that surround the Capitol, are selected by loterry to fight to the death until there is only one person left. Katniss is from District 12, the poorest of all Districts, and she and her sister Primrose or Prim for short are both in the big bowl to be choosen, since Katniss is 16 and Prim is 12. Unfortunately Prim is choosen as tribute, or a person in The Hunger Games, and Katniss, being the protective older sister she is she volunteers as tribute. So Katniss goes to the Capitol where The Hunger Games are held. She witnesses all of the strange appereances of the people in the Capitol. Then finally comes the games.

  Two things I liked about the book was all of the action and how well the author dscribed the details. One thing I didn't like about the book was all of the kids forced to fight to the death. I would say ages from 12-18 are appropriate for this book. I would definetely recommend this book to my friends who haven't already read this book. People who like action would like this book.
