The book that I am reading right now is Hunger Games by
Suzanne Collins, which is a young adult fiction/science fiction book. This takes
place in the future after North America was destroyed. There are 12 districts
around a Capital. The farther the districts get away from the Capital, the
poorer the districts are. So District 12, where the main character is from, is
the poorest. The main character is Katniss Everdeen. She is a strong, stubborn
and just wants to protect her family. Which is why she takes her sister’s place
in the 74th annual Hunger Games. The hunger games are a competition
between all of the districts. One girl and one boy are chosen from each
district and put into an arena where they have a fight to the death until one
victor remains. And all of this is broadcast on live television for the
Capital’s entertainment. The mood of this book is serious. The book starts out
with Katniss telling everyone how horrible her district is and almost all of
the rest of the book is the games, which is also a horrible event. I think that
one of the themes in the Hunger Games is sacrifice. Katniss sacrifices herself
to save her sister, knowing very well that she could die in the games.
I really like this book because I think it is suspenseful
and has a lot of emotions. The thing that I remember most about the book is the
first moment that the tributes are in the arena. I remember this because
Katniss is so vivid with her descriptions and tells us about everything, from
the way that it smells, to the plastic sheet that was lying by her feet. I
would recommend this book to anyone who likes kind of sci-fi, dystopian books.
It is suspenseful and yes, a little violent, but I think that this is a really
great book.

I like how you admitted that this is violent, most people only write good things about their book
