This book was very enjoyable and never had a dull moment. It has been one of my favourite books to read. It is very descriptive and easy to picture what is happening throughout it. I would suggest this book to anyone who enjoys reading fictional novels. It’s not to big and will not take you long to get through. In my opinion The Hunger Games is worth the read and will leave you wanting more. I would not change anything in this book, the way it is written and every detail added is important to the plot and ending. I was overall very happy with this book.
