Yup, sure did! I read the first book in two nights. (I like to read at night listening to my ipod or the radio playing. Try it! It really does help.) Now I am on the third book. (Yes, I did read the second. Those games ended really quickly….) Oh and I love the name Katniss. :) Anyway, I’m hoping this book will be the best one yet! Sometimes sequels are better and sometimes they aren’t. I know the first was waaayyyy better than the second. To me, it had more of a story. Several twists and plenty of action!
For those of you who don’t know, the Hunger Games is a trilogy about life after the fall of America basically. The land is reorganized and divided into 13 different districts that each supply a specific product or service and are controlled by the pompous Capitol city, located in today’s Rocky Mountains. However, the rest of the districts rebel due to the oppression from the iron-fisted rule of the rather quirky Capitol. Eventually, the Capitol squashes the rebellion and extinguishes District 13…
Katniss, a teenaged girl living in District 12, has grown up feeding on the hate eminating from all district citizens, especially at the time of the Reaping. One boy and one girl from each district are picked every year and forced to fight to the death in a specialized arena which is taped live and broadcasted throughout the whole nation. Katniss and her friend Gale are contemplating whether to either run away or spark a new rebellion when the Capitol commits a truly evil, hateful act…. Katniss’ little sister, Prim, is drawn for the reaping, officially pitting Katniss against the Capitol for good…..
For now, I won’t say what happens next so people can read it. :) It’s a great book!!! And don’t forget to come back and post about it – or any other book too! Well, happy reading!!!!!! Oh and happy new year! :)
