“The Hunger Games” is the best book I have ever read. It makes you keep guessing what is about to happen and how Katniss is going to survive. I could not believe what happens in the end. There is a twist no one could have thought it would happen. Once you pick the book up and start to read you can’t put it down. But I have to admit the first couple of chapters are boring but at chapter 4 it starts to get exciting. If you want to read this book you better be ready for some violence and blood. This is a descriptive book and is very creative. When this book becomes a movie I will be the first to see it.

The back cover of the book says: ‘Winning will make you famous but losing means certain death. In a dark vision of the near future, a terrifying reality 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. Alana, Year 8
