Explanation of Rating: Hunger Games is a great book that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The book also has a little bit of romance to add some more drama to it. Although it has some romance it does not cross the line with it. In the book there are a lot of interesting characters that keep you wanting to read.

Favorite Passage: We're going to be thrown into an arena to fight to the death. Exactly how am I supposed to work in a thank-you in there? Somehow it just won't seem sincere if I'm trying to slit his throat. (32)

This passage was my favorite because it shows the irony that the capital had towards the games. The games were a matter of life or death but for some people it was just fun or for their enjoyment.
