Hunger Games

I love and hate seeing the previews for the Hunger Games. I want to see the movie so bad and the previews only make me want to see it more. I like watching them but it is like teasing me. The Hunger Games is the book I am reading for the third quarter outside reading. I will give a brief overview of the story; trying not to spoil the book for anyone show hasn't read it yet. SPOILER ALERT. The Hunger Games is a story about this 16-year-old girl named Katniss who has had a terrible life with her father dying and then having to support her family by hunting illegally. Then her little sister's name gets called at the reaping for the hunger games, which is the government way of controlling the people. To describe what these games are, there are 12 districts and they each have to have a boy and girl tribute that will go to an arena and fight to the death, 24 in 1 out. Katniss is from district 12; the poorest out of all of them and only have one living victor, a drunk named Haymitch, so district 12 almost never wins. Katniss then volunteers to take her sister's place, and the boy tribute is a baker's son named Peeta who Katniss barely knows. Soon they are fighting in the games in a no rules free for all fight to the death, which is all I am going to say since I don't want to ruin it. This book is one of the best books I have read and keeps you guessing what will happen next with unexpected results that have you reading for hours. If you have not read this book, go out and get it and start reading.
