The Hunger Games- favorite books
One of my favorite books I have read has to be, The Hunger Games. This book is full of action, and instinct. In the beginning of the book, Katniss Everdeen, the main character's family is preparing for the Reaping. This is a ceremony in all of the districts (where they people live) to see who gets to fight to the death, and is the "best district". So, when they go her sister, Primrose is chosen to fight. But, Katniss won't allow that, and volunteers to go instead, with a boy, Peeta who is also chosen. When they begin the games, Katniss struggles a little but manages to fight, and survive. During the middle of the book, the person in-charge tells them they are allowed to win with the person of the same district. In her case, that would have been Peeta. So, she goes and finds him injured, and helps him to recover. At the end of the games, they release werewolves which were the people that died. They attack them, but Peeta and Katniss manage to fight off the last victor and survive together. Then they say that only one person can win, so they decide to eat poison berries, so they wouldn't have to kill each other, but they are stopped and they both get to survive. At the end of the story, they are happy because they both lived, and they were able to reunite safely with their families.

I have always wanted to read this book! Is it anything like the movie?
ReplyDeleteYeah it is really similar to the movie, and they are both really good. The movie has a few things different in it, but they're small enough to not bother you a lot.
DeleteI agree, this is a very good book. It had enough plot twists and conflict to make it good and it ends with a cliff hanger! Great description!
