Book Recomendation

If you're looking for a new book to read and want something you haven't read before, I would recommend reading the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a book about a 16 year old girl named Katniss Everdeen who lives in the Hostile District 12. Where 2 kids from ages 12-18 from each of the 12 districts are forced to send one boy and girl to go fight to the death on live TV, just for the entertainment. For District 12 this year, Katniss' sister, Prim, is chosen to go to the arena for the girl selection. Katniss knows how scared Prim was for this happening, so she volunteers for her. So now Katniss has to go fight to the death against 23 other tributes who don't want to be there either. She's used to hunting animals in the woods, but she doubts she will ever do the same to a person. But there in District 12, she supplys the food for the family and helps care for her mother and her sister, so another huge obstacle has been thrown in the way. And Katniss already hates the Capitol enough for what they were doing before Katniss' sister was chosen. The movie for this book is also really good, but not at relating to the book. The movie excludes the details of the beginning of the book where Katniss starts out in District 12 and it exculdes seeing every tribute fighting in the arena like you see in the book. In the book they mainly count down from one tribute to another. But in the movie, they skip a few tributes in the arena. And in the arena you also don't see the detail of each and every attack like you do in the book. Also since I liked this book, I would recommend reading the next book in the series Catching Fire, after you would read this one if you liked this book. And if it is like this book but continued, the next book should be even better.

  1. Great post! io agree with your opinions on the movie, i really did not understand why it was so critically acclaimed, they skipped so much detail and sacrified showing the hunger games as something terrible by scaling everything down so much, i really felt that they should have gone the extra mile, made the movie rated R, and put so much more detail into every thing.
