review by Anna Rummel
 * //The Hunger Games//**, Suzanne Collins

Write a paragraph or two about the exposition and conflict of your book, which should include some pieces of rising action. Do **not** give away the climax or resolution.

Next is a paragraph saying if you recommend the book or not and explaining why. You will obviously write more than this.

I read a book called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It is sometime in the future, in the country of Panem, which is where the United States would be. There are twelve districts of Panem. Katniss Everdeen is the main character and the book is in first person. Katniss lives in District 12, the poorest of the districts. District 12 is a glum, dull place. The conflict of the story is Katniss has to compete in the Hunger Games, and she doesn't want to die. The Hunger Games is where two tributes, a boy and a girl, from each district are chosen to compete. To win, you have to be the last one alive. Katniss and the boy tribute, Peeta Mellark, are the two tributes for District 12. Once Katniss and Peeta get to the games, there is an interview for all of the tributes, and there are training sessions to prepare for the games. In the interviews, Peeta confesses that he loves Katniss. Katiniss thinks he is lying but he isn't. When the Games start, Katniss is trying to kill everyone in the group that Peeta is in. Then, the Gamemakers decided that two tributes from the same district can win. Peeta and Katniss make a good team and soon there is only one team left for them to kill. Peeta and Katniss must win so they can feed their families and not live in poverty. I would recommend this book because I thought it was a very good book. It was very interesting and suspensful. It also explained what the future might be like. It also made me think a lot because in the future, I think about a bunch of modern technology and inventions. But where Katniss lives, people don't have a lot of money and it's almost like time reversed. This book is also a little bit hostile, because it is about people killing each other and dying. So, if you don't like seeing or reading about people dying or being killed, you might not want to read this book. I thought the book was excellent. If I could rate the book on a scale of one to five, I would give it a five out of five.
