Hunger Games book
The Hunger Games was a great book with a phenomenal plot. My favorite character is Thresh because he is really cool.  Thresh is super tough but inside has a heart.  He has a minor role, so I would have liked to know more about him and his experience before and during the games.  I wish he had won. 


The main characters, Katniss and Peeta come from District 12, the coal mjning district.  I was surprised by how low-tech district 12 was very compared to the capital. Because in this future world, technology has really advanced.  I loved the book and I would recommend it to anyone 5th grade and up.   This book is a page turner with great characters and the best plot but with a lot of violence and death.  I thought that the concept of kids fighting against other kids was wrong and disgusting.   If I were in the Hunger Games I would not do to well, because I am not a natural fighter.


Hunger Games movie 
After reading the book, I saw the Hunger Games movie and was so relieved that no bad movie starts, like Taylor Swift or Zac Efron were cast.  That would have really ruined it for me.  To see the people and the places and the events of the movie was just as I imagined it, spectacular!  I thought the movie had some great new parts but definitely left out some important parts of the book.   The movie is a must-see for people 10 and up.
