The Hunger Games

Hi! I am back and (as you may realize) I am reading the book "The Hunger Games." It is about a girl names Katniss, her sister Prim, and Katniss's friend Gale. It is kind of confusing at first because Katniss (this book is in first person) mentions the reaping and the Hunger Games. I was confused because I didn't know what the reaping or the Hunger Games were at first, but then Patrick told me that the reaping was where they picked the people who were going to participate in the Hunger Games. Apparently, nobody wants to be in the Hunger Games. I am not really sure why, but since the title is the Hunger Games, I am guessing that it will be something that has to do with going without food or something.
Katniss, Prim, and their mother live in District 12. I guess District 12 is not the greatest place to live, because they are obsessed with getting food and storing it, so maybe District 12 is poor or something like that.
At the reaping, Prim gets chosen, but Katniss takes her place. I predict that next, Katniss will either win the Hunger Games, or something will happen with Gale, because I can see some romance coming between them.
A lot of different people recommended this book to me, and so far, I think that this book is really good. I think it is good because it is not one of those books that you can predict everyhting that is going to happen.
In the beginning, I could tell that either Katniss, Gale, or Prim was going to be picked for the Hunger Games, because the title wouldn't be called The Hunger Games unless one of the main characters was actually in the Games.
On a scale of 1-10 (10 being high) I would give this book a 7 so far, because I can't predict what is going to happen next. I really do not like books that you can tell everything that is going to happen, because then there is no point to reading them. Anyway, this book is pretty good so far, so I will stick with it for at least one more week.
