Mockingjay

After the Capitol wiped out district 12. The emotion Katniss felt most was anger. In the 3 quarter quell President Snow tried to prove that the Capitol can't be destroyed, but that decision didn't help him. After Katniss comes out of The Hunger Games alive (again) she, and the survivors of District 13 are hiding in District 13 which only the capitol knew still existed. Peeta has been taken in the control of the capitol and has been...basically brainwashed. They need to fight the capitol, but they have to go there, without being seen.

Somethings I liked about this book was that it was very exciting and you never knew what was going to happen next. Throughout the whole series you never really knew how it was going to end. I think the thing i liked the most was that you didn't really like the main character. She was definitely not a bad guy, but she wasn't great.

Something I didn't like was that it was by far the slowest paced, Hunger Games book. The Ending was also a bit disappointing. I feel like there needed to be a longer and fun ending. It sort of seemed like she had to make the book. It seemed like she was forcing herself to write instead of writing it for fun. Only at some points thought. At most parts it seemed like she was writing how she usually does.

The Hunger Games movie comes out March 23, 2012.

Catching Fire!


The Best Book in the Hunger Games trilogy. (I think most people agree) Just like the first, Catching Fire is amazingly well written, and it made me we want to never stop reading it. The description is wonderful, but the thing that had me hooked the most, was that i felt the emotions of the main characters when I read it. Scratch that, I felt the feelings for ALL of the characters when reading it. That is how well the author wrote it. The author doesn't tell the readers what's happening all thee time, so you have figure it out yourself. That's another reason why it's so good. There's betrayal, pain, ( physical and emotional) shock happiness, and relief in Catching Fire, and that is why it is good!

The Hunger Games!


BEWARE: THE NEW HARRY POTTER

As of right now, The Hunger Games are my favorite trilogy of books. But in this review I am only writing about the first one. The Hunger Games takes place in a distopian future in the ruins of a place know as North America. The U.S. Is split up into 12 districts revolving around a capitol city which is located in the Rocky Mountains. Each district revolves on each other for the things they produce, such as, coal, lumber, agriculture, electronics. Each year, every district sends a boy and a girl to participate in The Hunger Games. The twenty four contestants, get dropped into a 100 acre arena and have a fight to the death. The winner is the one that is the last one living, and he or she (the winner) gets treated like royalty while the rest of the citizens are trying to not starve. It's very well written, and it make s you feel the emotions of the characters.
