Just what I thought about the book
I like the way Suzanne Collins writes the book it has a funny feeling (well to me) and it is unlike any book that I have read. It is not SUPER intense like I am number four or Gone (ugh I don’t really like the gone series) but it is a mixture of feeling and violence. For me I would recommend (THE FIRST BOOK) for year 6 if you are like me, LOVING to read maybe year five. In year 3 I picked up started to read. And that was really interesting the way I saw it because I didn’t completely understand all of the words that were in the book. Hahaha. But overall I would rate the book a whopping seven point five out of ten and for me no book has ever hit more than 8 before so that 7.5 is a really good score.

12/9
Starting/ Part 1

How you know that you have to give up your spot to save her, Katniss is willing to do that for Prim, who is only 12. I knew what was going to happen when I was reading the book but I still flinched a little when Prim’s name was called, and even when Katniss won. I can tell Suzanne put a lot of time and effort into her book making it so it is really interesting so people won’t just drop to sleep while reading it but now look where it got her. Everyone knows her book she is about as famous as Katniss, Just

    The figurative language deepens the book, and the style and craft drags the reader farther into it. The central idea of the book is well chose and described. The only thing that could have been improved is the figurative language. There is so much figurative language at certain parts that many readers do not may have trouble understanding it. Even with the confusing parts this book deserves a four out of five stars, because it is intriguing, but still has flaws.…

    If I was in katniss and I was in her place I would have made the same choices she made. On (page twenty eight paragraph four ) it states that president snow told katniss that they have a problem when she pulled out the poison berries at the the end of the hunger games when the game maker said that there can only be one victor. Seneca Crane was the one that let katniss and Peeta be both victors because katniss and peeta pulled out the poisonous berries and he stopped them because he had to have a victor that two is better then none. President snow executed Seneca for what he had done that gave katniss the chills down her spine.…

    I would rate this book 6 or 7 out of 10, because is was very detailed on what it was saying and I could imagine what was going on in the book. The thing that I did not like in the book. The story ends with Scout well on her way to growing up, as well. She now has some idea of what being a lady involves, and she no longer seems to mind so much. But importantly, Lee leaves readers with the remembrance that Scout the narrator is still a little girl.…
