The Hunger Games has been a book that I could not possibly put down, It is amazing and most likely one of the best books I have ever read.

This book has had me at the edge of my seat. This book is like a steering wheel, I can’t let go. Everything that happens makes me more and more anxious. If I were in her position I would not know what to do. Who to trust? Who to kill? I wouldn't even be able to kill anyone because I would feel very bad.

Her life and the citizens’ lives is worthless to the Capitol, but with her sacrifice, comes the betterment of the lives of the rest of her people.
