My second quarter book report, book was “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins. The assignment was to try to convince the rest of the class to read YOU’RE book. The person with the most votes gets five extra points. Read on to find out if I won . Here is the summary part of my presentation:

“The Hunger Games is about Katniss Everdeen who lives in the poorest district, District 12. District 12 is in a futuristic country in the ruins of the US called Panam. Panam is controlled by the Capitol, and to prove to the twelve districts they are in control and to discourage them to start a rebellion, they hold an annual hunger games, which is forced to be “celebrated”. On reaping day, the name of one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district is picked by a lottery. They are forced to participate in the hunger games. What are the hunger games?
The Hunger Games is an awful game where kids must fight each other to the death which Capitol puts on annually. When 16-year-old Katniss’ 12 year old sister, Prim is called. Katniss heroically takes her place. After lots of preparations in the capitol, they begin interviews where Peeta confesses he loves her, to get more sponsors, or does he truly love her? She battles for her life along with her fellow district twelve tribute, Peeta. But there can only be one victor.”

Overall I give this book four out of five stars. It was very fast paced with no dull moments. But I don’t think the characters are built up enough in the beginning. Other than that, I do defiantly recommend this book!

I did return this book back to the Library and can’t do an excerpt of this book. I will tell you what my favorite part was. Well, it was when they were in the Capitol preparing for the Games because I like the suspense and how her stylist put together an elaborate outfit for the interviews!

Also, my book DID win. It was either because of my hard work on the report or because two other people who also did this book. Either way all three of us got five extra points!
