SUMMARY on the book: The Hunger Games

I haven't read that much about the book since I just started to read it. All I know is about the main character Katniss that's sixteen years old who lives in the Capitol, which is a harsh place because they have fights between boys and girls the ages twelve to eighteen to interact in a fight known as the novel, The Hunger Games. The fight is brutal because it's a fight that you actually sit down and watch on national television. Katniss has a sister, Prim that's name after Buttercup and her mother, who they once said used to be beautiful. They live along with a cat that's Prim. When Katniss was younger, she used to scare her mother to death about the things she would blurt out about District 12. Katniss has a friend name Gale that I also get the privilege to recognize. So far, the book has been good. Just reading the summary told me that already. The Hunger Games is known as a dangerous fight and only the strongest survives. As I read on, I come to my sense that Katniss's sister Prim is involved in the hunger game and Katniss steps before her to fight her match. Later, I will better understand what exactly is going on in the novel. It has been one of the best books I've read so far. Katniss just want to get away from all the violence and wishes she can escape, but it's not that easy. She has a few friends along the way. Gale is a handsome guy who I think Katniss will soon fall for. I also go a chance to know a little more about her friend Effie Trinket, who is fresh from the Capitol and the mayor's daughter Madge, who isn't so bad as Katniss thinks. I think Katniss will win the battle she is up against, but will have to face major consequences later on. As I read more, I will get a better understanding of the novel. So far, so good. I love this book. One of the best books I read so far. I can relate to it in many ways and also get a clear view picture in my head. This book is definitely a thumbs up.
