The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games is my favorite book ever!! The movie is amazing too :) I can't wait till the second movie in the trilogy comes out, Catching Fire. It was a great book as well. I bet the movie will be great too :) It comes out November 23, 2013! Man...that seems really far away. The last book in the trilogy, Mockingjay, was a very good book also! :)

The Hunger games is about North America, in the future, which is then called Panem. Panem is ruled by the Capitol, and they control 12 districts. Every year one boy and one girl between the ages of 12-18 are chosen to fight till the death in an arena, on live TV. There are 24 tributes, and only one winner. Katniss volunteers as tribute when her little sister, Prim, is chosen. Katniss has to make sure to win so she can keep her mother and sister from starving, because Katniss usually provided the food.

When the Hunger Games movie came, I wasn't really interested in seeing it, because I didn't know what it was about and I didn't read the books. But my friend begged to go see it with her, so I did and I loved it! Then I decided to read the books, and I really enjoyed them. Can't wait to see the other two movies!! :)
