Hunger Games

Readers identity:

I have never been much of a reader, and I think this is because of lack of time. Whenever I do get into a good book, I always stay interested and engaged, but I am always so busy. The concept of this book also interested me, I love books about utopias; they always seem so cool. I think I could be a reader addict if I was given the opportunity. I would label myself as a summer reader because that is when I do the majority of my pleasure reading, instead of school reading.


Why did you choose this book?

I chose The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins because I had gotten numerous recommendations form my friends to read it. I also saw the trailer for the movie on T.V and I wanted to read it before the movie came out so I could enjoy the book. I also knew it was about a utopia and I am very interested in utopian books.


Does this book remind you of any other book you have read in the past? How so?

I remember when we read The Giver in 6th grade. This was the first book I had ever read about utopias and I loved every minute of it. It reminds me of the Hunger Games because it is also about a utopia. In both books something in the utopia goes terribly wrong and it never works out. These types of books really strike an interest in me.

What is the best part of reading this book?

I love to read this book because the author is amazingly descriptive. I love the way she describes each character and what is going through their head. It almost appears like a movie in my head. I think that the movie will be amazing because of all the amazing descriptions the author has put into the book. The book almost comes to life.
