So, you should read this

Recently the sequel to one of my favorite books came out. This summer my mom and I have been practically eating books, most were really good but one definitely stood out above the rest. It's called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins it's about post apocalyptic north america. There is a capitol and twelve districts surrounding the capitol, and as punishment for a former uprising, the capitol forces the districts to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to compete in a fight to the death and the entire thing is televised for the capitol's entertainment. This book blew my mind, not only the awesome concept but also amazing writing. Collins said she got her inspiration while flipping through channels and seeing reality TV and footage of the war in Iraq when the lines began to blur she got the idea for the book. I would seriously recommend this book to anybody. It;s meant to be a trilogy and with the release of the second book, leaves me ever more desperate for the final installment. All i can think of is how it would feel to be a tribute and have to kill your peers in order to survive. Can you imagine that?
so, basically,
read it,
it's bombtastic,
seriously
