Hey Everyone! I started a new book while I'm in the process of blogging about the ones I've already read. I started the Hunger games and so far I'm really into it. The hunger games takes place in a world where the country is broke up into district. District one holds the capitol and people in power and its each districts job to produce something to insure of everyone's survival. District 12 being the mining district is the poorest off all 12 and it is the district where Katniss is from. Katniss is a 16 year old girl who takes the place of her sister to compete in a series of games promoted by the government where two tributes are chosen randomly and made you fight to the death and the winner receives a house food and wealth for themselves and their family. This selection of people occurs in each district annually and the age ranges chosen are between 12-18. Being chosen is dreadful although the government forces people to watch. The main character Katniss at 16 chooses to take the place of her 12 year old sister in order to save her life, but in volunteering to fight in her place, she gives herself a death sentence. At the moment I'm on page 168 of 367 and the games have just started. The book grabs your attention and immediately pulls you in, which is different for me because typically i ready sappy love book, so for this book to interest me and for it to be so rugged, i like it. It's a different feel for me. The main characters are: Katniss, the female tribute from district 12 who takes her sisters place in the Hunger Games, Peeta is the male tribute from the district and he is the bakers son. He seems really quite and reserved and although Katniss likes who he is, she tries to distance herself simply because in order for her to live she must insure his death. Gale, is Katniss's best friend. Haymitch, who is the District 12 winner of the 50th Hunger games. Finally there is Prim or Primrose, who is Katniss's little sister who was initially chosen for the hunger games. The book is off to a good start and its really holding my attention at the moments its making me interested in finishing the trilogy. Then of course I'll watch the movie. I'll keep you posted on my thoughts and when i finish the book. Bye guys!
