The book I chose for my book review was __The Hunger Games__, by Suzanne Collins. After reading the first chapter, I automatically got addicted, forcing myself not to put it down. In the book, the author explains the Annual Hunger Games, which is two tributes from every district who fight for their lives in the arena, and whoever’s left shall bring glory and food to their district! The characters, the setting, and the action was phenomenal, causing me to stay up late and reading until I fall asleep.

In this book, the details and descriptions are so clear, it makes it seem like you're in the book with them. It makes you wonder, what's going to happen next? As you read along you want to know what's coming your way. The characters in the book are amazing, and in the movie as well. Katniss Everdeen is one of the main characters in the book, and the novel itself is written by Katniss's point of view. I love her attitude towards everyone because it reminds me a bit of myself. She's fierce, brave, and very open with her thoughts. Another main character in the book is Peeta Mellark. Peeta was chose along with Katniss to fight in the Hunger Games. Though he does not think like Katniss, he has the strength of a superhero, which can be a great advantage in the games.

As the games begin, the author describes everything that goes on.. She explains all the other tributes from different districts very thoroughly. When you get farther and farther into the book, that's when most of the action begins. The whole book, from beginning to end is amazing. Some may not enjoy the books, or the movie, or the characters, but I on the other hand believe this is the best book I've ever read! I'm not one of those people who enjoys reading much, but this book changed that thought.

In my opinion, Katniss is my favorite character in the book. She's powerful, smart, brave, kind (at times), and trust worthy. In a way, I relate to her. She gives an attitude to people, which I find magnificent. She cares for others and is very skilled. She uses all her tricks and techniques in the game to help her survive. She's a master at using bow and arrows which helps a great amount during the fight. If I were to be anyone in the games, I would definitely choose Katniss.

I recommend that everyone should read The Hunger Games. Its suspenseful, detailed, action filled, and it will make you wonder who's going to win the Hunger Games? Even if you're not the reading type, still give this book a try, why not? Overall, the book was phenomenal and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
