I think that __The Hunger Games__ by Suzanne Collins was a very good book. I give this book 4 stars. I liked this book because it had a lot of action. Even though the theme seemed unreal I beleived that it was true. The genre of this book is hard to explain. I think this because the reader feels so many diffrent ways during the book that you can't really say that it is one specific genre. This book is about sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen an ordinary girl from District 12, Panem. However when she takes her sisters place in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death for kids 12-18 from all of the districts her life becomes everything but normal. From there she is whipped of to the Capitol where she prepares for the games with her quiet ally, Peeta and her drunk mentor Haymitch. After a life in poverty she briefly experiences how the citezens in the capitol live lives like Kings and Queens. Then she tries to cope with the fact that her chances of living are extremely small and she wonders about how all the people that she loved will live without her. if you want to find out more go read the book. There were many surprises in this book that happen non-stop that kept the reader Intrested. They were in the perfect spots because if the stroy was about to get boring the book had a twist. The Chapters almost always ended with cliffhangers that made you have to read the next chapter. The latest time I was up reading was 11:30 because I couldn't stop. I think another part that couldn't make me stop was that the characters acted very realisticlly normally. They acted like normal people would if they were in this scenario. Most of the Caracters change by the end of the story. I can't tell how they change but you can find out by reading. I would recommend this book to any one that won't get to uncofortable reading about kids dying. At some points in the story dispite the fact that I liked the book I couldn't keep reading because what was happening in the story was brutal, so I wouldn't recomend this book to someone under 10. Yet there is something about the book that makes it good even though the topic is tough. The author Suzanne Collins wrote the books __Catching Fire__ and __Mocking Jay__. These books are about what happens after the hunger games. If you want to buy this book click this link. []
