Characters: Katniss, Peeta, Gale, Haymitch, Effie
Setting: Panem
Book Length: 387 Pages
Summary: This book is amazing! This book isn't about a girl stuck in between 2 boys, it's about a girl fighting to protect her family and trying to change the way her country is. I know it's like everyone knows what THG is about, but they don't! 

Like I always say, books are always better than their movies. Look at Percy Jackson for an example!

I read this because of the show, which is my favorite may i add, but almost nothing is the same! If you want spoilers for the show, this book does not have them! But some really good books, with some HUGE plot-twists! I was going to give 4 stars for no spoiler disappointment but the books were too good to only be 4 stars! :p
