A REVIEW OF THE HUNGER GAMES BY WILL GRAVLIN

"The Hunger Games" is a dystopian science fiction novel by Suzanne Collins. The novel takes place in a future North America, called Panem. It's divided into the Capitol and twelve districts. Each year, as a punishment for the district's rebellion, the Capitol selects one boy and one girl, who are called "tributes," from every district to participate in the Hunger Games – an event that everyone in the districts is forced to watch, where the tributes must fight to the death until only one remains.

Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her sister Prim's place as a tribute from District 12. The male tribute is Peeta Mellark, who has liked Katniss since childhood. Alongside her fellow tribute Peeta Mellark, Katniss navigates the deadly challenges of the Hunger Games arena, where she has to confront the other tributes and the political scheme of the Capitol. As the story unfolds, Katniss becomes a symbol of resistance against the oppressive Capitol, sparking a rebellion across the districts.

I really liked this book and it is one of my favorite dystopian novels I've ever read. The world created in this book is amazing and the way Collins writes makes you feel like you're part of the book. It never has a break in action and there are a ton of twists. Every time you think something is going to happen, something else changes the entire plot of the book.

Everything considered I would have to give this book a 10/10. I truly love this book and would recommend it to everyone no matter what genre they usually read.

  Solo  by Kwame Alexander with Mary Rand Hess was published on August 1, 2017. Unlike any other book I've read, each page is in poetry style, with each page using poems to explain the story. The book is about a seventeen year named Blade Morrison, who is a musician. His foster mother had died and his rock star father struggles with drugs and addiction with dreams of making a comeback into the music industry. In reality, the only thing Blade shares with his father, Rutherford Morrison, is his passion for music. Blade has a girlfriend named Chapel, but her parents forbidden their relationship with assumptions of Blade becoming just like his father. Eventually Blade is faced with the realizations that he may lose Chapel forever, and the long-held family secret that his sister, Storm, has kept for so long and leaves him questioning if everything is true. The only thing that could save Blade from these disastrous events happening was a letter and a ticket to Ghana; which could either b

Throughout the story, his family is forced to constantly move throughout the underground tunnels that Mr. Foxs' family and other animals create to avoid being killed by these farmers. Mr. Fox has to use his natural instinct and imaginative mind to maneuver and rise above these farmers. This book has action, drama, and suspense.
