After reading the whole book I have to say it was very interresting. At first it was of course boring because of all the explantions and information they  throw at you. Though after that when the games actually begin it just begins to get more and more interesting. It is a book that was just to be read by one gender group. It has something for both male and female. The action and killing for male, and romance for female. Though I can see both liking all of the content in the book, because at the beginning if you asked me who Katniss would end up with I would of said Gale, but after reading, the general consensus is she end up with Peeta. Though the romance was a good touch, I would like to say the idea of the district sending two people each to an area to kill others for food and goods, was great. Before this book the only book that I had read the had one character somehow killing another was Lord of the Flies, and that book can't even compare on how great this book was. This book was excellent and awesome.

Now for the thrid part. The 3rd is where Katniss is looking for Peeta and finds him injuried. She later nurses him and thinks that by using the love angle between the two she can get the sponsors to help her. The two and chased by mutated dog later. It is also revealed that Cato the leader of careers is last surviving tribute other than Peeta and Katniss. They kill Cato later by Katniss's shooting skills. The announcer announces that there can only be one winner, this causes the two to commit suicide but then he announces again the two are the winners. The games are over the two get interviewed then go one a train holding hands.

I think this part was my favorite it truly showed when the two work together they can do anything. I hope the the second book is as good or better than this one. But this part was the finale of the book, so all I have to say was it was good. I liked the fact that the two worked together and were able to leave to together aswell. Overall it was the best part.

I decided to post my second journal entry to give my view of the second part of the book

Journal #2

The second part is where the action truly begins, mainly because the game have begun. At the beginning the tributes are split, with Katniss being alone. Some time later she learn about Peeta joining the Carreer Tribute or the rich tributes. She joins Rue later and they steal the careers food, Rue is seen by Katniss resembling
her little sister Prim. Later on though Rue is killed by the careers and the whereabouts of Peeta are unknown as he is not part of the careers any more. Then the announcer after Rue's death calls about how two people from a district can win which changes the rules. This makes Katniss wanting to know where Peeta is.

Overall this part was much better than the last, in this one they acutally do something. But I will say the worst part in this was that Rue died, for Katniss it is kind of like her own sister dying. It was where it showed how Katniss was handling everything about joinging the games, it reaction to seeing that Peeta was her enemy. It was a really good part overall, especially that she worked with Rue, but it truly was sad when she died.

Journal #1

I've read the book and I have to say the beginning with all the explanning was completely boring. There were times were there was some action, but it wasn't as much. Though it was boring I think it was intended for information only. It did give me insight on Katniss, on why she does what she does, it also taught more about the game and introduced characters, that at first seemed like bad people. Most of it was boring but a few times in the book got me really hooked on the book. The second part was better, but at least I was able to learn more on the surroundings in the book. In part 1 if I had to say my favorite part it would be the interviews and chairiot part. I did like on the times it talked about Katniss's past on how she met Peeta, Gale and other peolpe.
