THE HUNGER GAMES

So I've decided to start reviewing books, and I'm starting with THE HUNGER GAMES which, if you don't already know, is one of the most awesome books of ALL TIME! I am so addicted it is ridiculous. RIDICULOUS. It is so awesome words cannot possibly describe it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So this is how my book reviews are gonna go. First I'm going to explain how I was introduced to the book. Actually no, first comes the picture of the book. THEN goes how I was introduced to it. After this will be a quick synopsis (spoiler free of course), whether or not I liked the main character, and what makes it so AWESOME. Oh, and depending on the book, I may or may not throw stuff about the awesome romance, if there is awesome romance. And for the Hunger Games, there IS awesome romance. So yeah.

1. To begin: The reason I read this book was because it was a book club book. Yes I am part of my school's book club. It is awesome. HOWEVER, the reason we were reading it in the first place was because I occasionally go on this cute little site called.....FOREVER YOUNG ADULT which is this amazing website dedicated to people who love YA literature and well, they're OBSESSED with the Hunger Games, so I had been dying to read it, just to see what the fuss was about. (By the way, here is the link: http://www.foreveryoungadult.com/)

2. Basically the Hunger Games is about a girl in the post-apocalyptic country of Panem, which is where the U.S. is now. In Panem, every year this event called the Hunger Games happens. Basically they throw two teenagers from each of their twelve districts into some crazy place and they all have to fight to survive. Last one standing is the winner. Our main character, Katniss, is from District 12, and she is one of the kids that goes to the Hunger Games.

3. The main character, Katniss, is awesome. She is like the epitome of BADASS. Every girl should want to be like Katniss, because she's just that cool. She's a little rough around the edges, but rightfully so, because she's basically had to feed/take care of her mother and little sister for years, ever since her father passed away. Katniss is strong, spirited, and smart (omigod alliteration!) and you know she's not gonna let ANYONE push her around. She's also really selfless.

4. The Hunger Games is so great I think because of three things. 1. The Suspense. Is Katniss going to make it out alive? What about Peeta? How can they both make it out alive? 2. The Main Character. Katniss is awesome, but you can just see above for my explanation of why. and 3. The Romance. Katniss + Peeta FOREVER! Peeta is the other tribute that was chosen to enter the Hunger Games, and they make me want to MELT!!!!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All in all, the Hunger Games was amazing, and you should read it, though be warned, it is VERY ADDICTING. You shoulda seen how fast I moved to get the second one, and the insanity that took place trying to get the third. But that my friends is a story for another time!!!!
