The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games  By Suzanne Collins

******6/5 stars Dystopian Fantasy Young Adult

This is my favorite book of all time.  It is very exciting, interesting, and intriguing. I loved it. It was very bloody, and it is sort of gross but it is sooooooo good despite all that.  Katniss Everdeen lives in District Twelve, part of Panem. Panem is harshly ruled by the Capitol. Each year each district has to send one boy and one girl to compete in the Hunger Games- where they all have to fight to the death. Katniss becomes a competitor and the Games begin.
Despite all of this I did notice a decrease in quality in the sequels.

Rangers Apprentice:The Ruins of Gorlan

Rangers Apprentice: The Ruins of Gorlan  By John Flanagan

*****5/5 stars  Fantasy

I really, really liked this book. It was exciting and I also like archery which this book is chocked full of. Will (the main character in this book) is chosen as an apprentice to a Ranger. Will doesn't know much about Rangers and he doesn't want to be one at first. It is exciting to be a Ranger though strange things are happening.
