Lauren, "the Hunger Games" (example post)

This week I am reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The story is about a girl named Katniss who is chosen to represent her district in an annual competition. She must fight to the death with 23 other kids. I like the character development in the book, especially when Katniss and Gale (the boy chosen from her district) are training for the Games. We learn a lot about what's really going on inside Katniss' head, and how she needs to play the game in order to win. I would recommend this book to friends who enjoy fantasy, action, or books with strong characters.
