blog week 12

•             Write a review of the book. Would you recommend it? Why or why not? Would you have changed any element of the story?

   I don’t enjoy reading much but after reading the Hunger Games I couldn’t wait to read the second book in the series, Catching Fire.  The book picks up right where the first one left off.  I was excited to get started to find out how people in the capitol would respond to the double suicide attempt made by Katnise and Peete. 

   Both books are filled with action and excitement.  I found myself gasping out loud at time and tearing up when something tragic happens.  The writer does a great job of helping you get to know the characters without the boring introductions that seem to go on forever in other books that I have read.  At some points in the book I felt as if I was right there with them.  Many times I would find it hard to put the book down.  It keeps you on the edge of your seat and eager to keep reading just to see what will happen next.  Although you know the book is fiction, it seemed so real to me while I read it. 

  I personally don’t know of anything I would change about these books.  They are easy to read and even easier to lose yourself in.  Me being a non-reader am now on the third and final book in The Hunger Games series and have loved every word of them.  I am super excited to know that there will be a movie coming out this fall based on the books.  I am hoping that the movie will be as good or even better than the book are.  I totally recommend them for anyone to read.
