I love this book as it has a action packed story filled with constant suspense and drama... Oh quick note your favourite character may die, 
Anyway back to why I like the book... I love Katniss's fiery attitude and sometimes stubborn impulsive nature and her quick wits, I love the fact she has a kindness and warmth about her especially with Rue and Prim, Also her sense of humour is absolutely BRILLIANT! 

In addition I love the book as the storyline is very intuitive and mind boggling (in a good way) 
and it always gives you goosebumbs! (NOT LYING) 
 This spellbounding book leaving you wanting more. I'll let u read the books to find out more you can buy it here  and here    QUOTE: "Happy hunger games and may the odds be ever in your favour!" Effie Trinket
