    This book that I have read had a great story with an amazing plot. The ending of the story was pretty sad but to me it was kind of unfinished, because of the story continuing in the third book. I would change the ending to something that would make more sense. This story ends at where Katniss is already saved by Finnick and they are at the hospital discussing about rebellion. After telling Katniss that Peeta was not saved and how the Capitol bombed and destroyed her home district she loses…

    While I enjoyed the idea behind The Hunger Games because it exposed the corruption of the rich and exploitation of the poor, I did not fully appreciate your portrayal of the heroine Katniss Everdeen because of the lack of character development. My main critique of Katniss is that she did not act like the heroine you attempted to portray her as. She was extremely selfish throughout almost the entire series. In the beginning of the first book, Katniss volunteered in place of Prim, which made…

    I don't think the hunger games should be in the book because they kill innocent people, they could make people who win into murderers, and they would probably make people who win scared and have nightmares.

Towards the middle they started putting mutts and stuff into the games. Towards the end they started putting a lot of mutts in and a…
