Goodreads Summary:
Winning will make you famous.
Losing means certain death.


In a dark vision of the near future, a terrifying reality TV show is taking place. Twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to appear in a live event called the Hunger Games. There is only one rule: kill or be killed.

When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen steps forward to take her sister's place in the games, she sees it as a death sentence. But Katniss has been close to death before. For her, survival is second nature. 

My thoughts:

The first time I tried to read this, I couldn't get into it. But after that, I couldn't put it down! It is a page turner that will keep you guessing. This book is so full of action, that you will rush out to purchase the second book.

Okay, so Katniss Everdeen is a born hunter. She hunts in the woods beyond district twelve to survive. She doesn't hunt alone, she hunts alone with Gale Hawthorne. On the Reaping Day, her sister, Primrose Everdeen, is singled out as the female tribute for the 74th Annual Hunger Games. Katniss volunteers as tribute for her sister, and is immediately sent to the Capitol. While at the Capitol, she trains and prepares for The Hunger Games. 

While in the arena, she fights for survival. She starves, Becomes dehydrated, and is injured in many ways. She becomes friends with a tribute from another district, Rue. Rue reminds her of her sister, and immediately befriends her. 

Katniss is a very smart character, and in some parts of the book, makes stupid decisions. Sometimes, I felt a little annoyed with her, but her decisions always work out in the end. All in all, I really do like Katniss as a character.

I love Peeta and Katniss' love story, it is really cute and sorta realistic. I also like how loyal Katniss is to her sister. She cares about her and doesn't want to see her get hurt.

If you are looking for an amazing sci-fi, dystopian adventure, pick this book up now.

Hello, Welcome to my Book Blog!

Hello, I just wanted to say welcome to my book blog. I enjoy talking about books, but feel awkward in front of a camera. I might start a Booktube channel in the future, but for now, It won't happen. I will be reviewing books right after I finish them. I will take requests on books to read. Thank you for viewing my blog.
