IRA The Hunger Games

Loving this book so far, lots of action and easy to read.
So at this point they are on the train going toward the capitol city, she gets all of this extrodinary food that she would never be able to eat otherwise.  While eating Haymitch staggers in and he is drunk off his a$$.  When they finally sober him up he makes a deal with them that he will help them through the tournament if they let him drink.  So he tells them to do what ever they are told and never argue.  So they follow his command and when they get to the capital they are instantly forced to go to styalist and get ready for presenting them to the rich nobels (the nobels will help them in the game by buying them weapons and stuff like that.)  So when she is presented to the nobels she is wearing a dress with fire on it, and the crowd loves her, even more than the rich other district (which doesn't normally happen).  She starts out nervous and then evolves into blowing kisses at the people and loving all the attention.  But the other districts hate her because they are never outshined by district 12.
In the train she notices that Peeta, the other district 12 candidate, is trying to be nice to her, she catches on the and realizes that once the games start they are mortal enemies and she can't think about how he saved her life or any of the other nice things he has done for her.  She may eventually have to kill him.

IRA: The Hunger Games

This is a really good book so far, it is about a society that rose from the ashes of America, it doesn't say how America fell but it did.  The main character Katniss lives in District 12 out of 12.  She lives on the extremely poor side of town and has to hunt (hunting is forbidden) to keep her family alive.  Every year the Capitol forces them to enter a contest which is battle to the death.  No one likes it but they have to.  Your name is entered based on your age and how many times you have accepted the tesserae (meaning food rations for the year).  This year katniss's sister was chosen even though the odds were against her getting chosen, but Katniss says that she will take the place of her in the games, even though it is suicide.  She says good by to her family and is currently on the train toward the capitol for the games.
Two things I want to talk about to describe it, 1) Katniss volenteered to go which is a first for this district, she is very brave and is probably one of the best qualified for the games because she is used to killing animals and hunting.  2) The tesserae is a cruel joke put forth by the Capitol, it forces the porrest to put their names in since they can't afford food.  It is a way for them to try to keep the rich alive and destroy the poor that no one really cares about.  Katniss's friend Gale is 18 and was eligible for the last time this year and had his name in the bowl a total of like 48 times because he had to accept rations for his entire family of five.  Katniss had her's in 26 time's because she accepted rations for her family of three, and Prim only had her's in once and she still managed to get chosen.
