The hunger games part 2

All righty time to finish my post from last night. So a really quick summary of the book. What used to be the United States is divided up into 12 districts with the Capitol at it's center. The districts are full of poverty and starvation while the capitol is full of wealth. Every year the Capitol holds the Hunger Games as a way to show the citizens they can't do anything to stop the vicious cycle. For the hunger games (HG) a boy and and girl from each district are chosen to compete in the HG. But the HG are no ordinary test of strength or speed, the competitors are thrown into a huge arena to fight each other to the death. The last person alive is sent home to live a life of wealth and ease. That's the basic plot, if that doesn't draw you in I guess i can't help you. For those of you out there with weak stomachs I will say there isn't the gore you would expect. Collins does an excellent job of presenting the plot. You feel for the charecters as if you are there too. It is one of the best books i have read in my life. I recomendit to anyone out there looking for a good book.
That should cover it. any other questions came be left in comment form. I shall do my best to answer all such questions.
