The Hunger Games

I'm sorry if I disappoint you, but I don't think of the Hunger Games very highly.
Here are the pros first: The Hunger Games are a very exciting event. It brings fun, excitement, and imagination into the reader's lives. It's a great page turner, and the reader is always wondering what the next page will be like.
Here are the cons: If you like the lovey dovey Twilight type books, this book isn't for you. Sorry to say, but my mom almost didn't let me read it because her friends said it was too graphic. Sadly, this book may appear somewhat scary for kids in the primary grades.
Here is my summary of the book. The Hunger Games is a yearly event where two representatives from each district are chosen (one boy and one girl) to go to the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games aren't a game about eating; instead the kids almost go hungry. They are put in a giant area with tons of hidden cameras to make sure each participant is seen. They are to fight to the death. Some kids are bloodthirsty and are the ones that kill. The others defend themselves and only focus on staying alive. In District 12, Katniss is chosen to fight in the games, but maybe she is in love with the other representative from District 12, Peeta?
