I absolutely loved this book. When I started reading this I couldn’t put it down till it was finished. It is a well written book by the amazing author Suzanne Collins. She uses word to pull you into the book and make it seem like you are right along with the main character. How she describes things when they are going on is absolutely fantastic. For me the book was better then the movie because I love to read more than I like to sit down and watch the movie. Reading this book was more pulling then the film because of the way the words were written. I would suggest this novel to anyone that loves to read, and enjoys a great book.
