This quarter I read the hunger games for my independent read. This book was different from all of the other books that I normally read. It wasn’t my favorite book by any means, but I would recommend it to someone that enjoys reading fiction stories.
The Hunger Games takes place in North America in a capital of Panem. The capital is a very strict and ruling government. Each year one boy and one girl between the ages of twleve and eighteen are sent to the hunger games. The hunger game is a fight to death on live television. The contestants used many different types of weapons to compeat against their component. The story follows a sixteen year old girl, Katniss Everdeen, who already has a tough life. She is chosen for the hunger games in place of her sister and she couldn’t be more afraid. Katniss goes through many hardships throughout the book. She learnes to fight for survival, and support her mom and sister. She makes friends and loses them, along with killing people and then regretting it in the end. This story is very interesting, and at times can get confusing but I think many of you will enjoy it.
This sounds like a very interesting book. I don't usually read fiction but you summary of the book makes me wonder what "games" they played and why. Great post!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are the only person I have ever heard that said they did not enjoy "The Hunger Games". So many people have recommended me to read this book so it was cool reading what you thought and your summary of the book. Do you plan on reading the rest of the series?
ReplyDeletethis seems like a very addictive book. I am interested in the details of the games or the layout of them. i would guess the book is very descriptive. care
ReplyDeleteHaha, so you ended up reading them? They're so addicting! The books are incredibly descriptive. A lot of people who read them say it's like "reading a movie" and I agree. The movie comes out this March, btw!
ReplyDeleteI am so with you bre, I didn't enjoy the book I read either. Your book though seems very confusing and hard to follow but the whole idea about fighting until death is scary! i'm actually kinda interested in her story and struggle. Love your post!

DeleteI read the book this spring. It had a rather unique plot compared to other books I've read and a nice medley of suspense, drama, action, and romance. It was enjoyable, but definitely not my favorite. I saw the movie just last night, but it lacked the drama of the book.
