This author made this such a good book. Unlike other good books that I have read this book doesn’t have hard diction to understand. The author also has plenty of themes but one I think that to me is very important in life. I think the best thing the author did was using words that people who would read this book easy but she also used good details. She also added very precise details to the book so you can easily make a movie in your own mind. Then the author also added little parts with romantic part in this book. Then all the sudden the author changes it to so much action. This book overall I think anyone will enjoy if you are at the age of 10 and older. I recommend it to these people because the book gets you to not stop reading and so easy to understand.

The author made this book very interesting so if you hadn’t read it I recommend you read then watch the movie. This book left me hanging wanting to read the rest of the series. The book The Hunger Games to me will one of a kind so go to the closest library and get the best book I ever read. You are hearing this come from a person that doesn’t really like to read. Well do you think Peter and her love Katniss will make it out together or die? You must read the book to find out.   Also I don’t think you will be upset with this awesome book.
