THE HUNGER GAMES. Matt Fischer
by Suzanne Collins
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a action fiction book about a teenage girl named Katniss Everdeen. It is in the future and America has been split up in to 12 districts and there is a Capitol with all the important people. The people in the districts live in severe poverty. To add to it every year there is a game in witch a boy and a girl from each district are chosen to fight to the death in giant arena.
The story is told in Katniss' point of view. Katniss' young sister, Primrose, has had her name for the first time in the reaping. Katniss comforts her by telling her that she will not be called. The sisters dress up and go to the reaping. A woman named Effie Trinket walks on stage and pulls a piece of paper and calls out a name "Primrose Everdeen". The crowd is silent. The peacekeepers grab her but before she gets on stage Katniss shouts out "I volunteer!! I volunteer as tribute!!". She walks up on stage quivering in fear with tears running down her face. Katniss was the first person ever to volunteer for the Games in district twelve. Then Effie picks from the boy's side. She pulled out the slip of paper and read "Peeta Mellark". Peeta was a bread baker and decorator at his moms bakery. One rainy night Katniss was outside curled up by a tree. She heard pesetas mom yelling at Peeta because Peeta had burnt some bread and she told him to feed it to the pig. When he stepped outside he saw Katniss and threw the burnt bread at her. They got on the train to go to the Capitol. On the train they meet their trainer, Haymitch, a previous winner of the games some odd years ago. He is a drunk but is smart. In the games tributes need sponsors. Sponsors can send care packages to the tributes to help them win or just last longer. To get sponsors Katniss and Peeta have to act like they are star crossed lovers to win the capitol's hearts. They arrive in the arena and they win!!! The intended audience is teenagers. It is an action fiction. The author kept me interested because the book had lots of action. The authors style was very effective.
The book made me feel awesome. It did not however change any ideas I held before I read the book. It did not bring up memories of any books I have read before or any authors.
The book was good!!! The book was really good!!! The book was really really good!!!
I recommend this book to everyone in the history of ever!!!
