    Do you like books about survival, if you like books, and movies then chances are you've heard of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I just recently read the book and I was amazed. It was truly the best book I have read in a very long time. The protagonist is Katniss because the book is in her perspective. The Antagonist is President Snow because he is the one who thought the districts should be punished and does anything to stop the districts from rebellion, like what happened 75 years ago and having freedom. Catching fire is about Katniss Everdeen and her surviving the Hunger Games. In the first book she wins, but not really, in Catching Fire she realizes that she never really won the games, she survived them. Only to be told that she'll again be in the arena. She has only one goal after she finds out, and that is to keep Peeta Mellark alive. When she pulled out the poisonous berries in her first time in the arena it started uprisings in the districts. President snow was very angry. I really enjoyed reading this book because there was more detail and different things that happened in the book and movie. What the Capitol and President Snow do next is what you'll have to find out by reading Catching Fire.

    Do you like action and drama? Then The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is the book for you. This book tells about a 16 year old girl named Katniss Everdeen and her life living in the corrupt country of Panem in the distant corrupt future. There are 12 districts total in Panem, in which Katniss lives in the 12th and poorest. People in district 12 struggle don't live a very happy life, as buying food increases the odds of being entered in the Hunger Games. Every year, a cruel sport is held called the Hunger Games is held by the dictator government of the Capitol, in which 24 kids, or tributes, age 12-18 are picked from every district (1 male, 1 female per district) to be put in a large arena to fight to the death. The last man standing is then declared the winner and retires to a life of leisure. This is the basis of the entire book, as Katniss is one of those tributes that was chosen from her district. Katniss then has to fight for her life in a bloodbath of teenagers that are trained killers. Katniss hadn't had a great life before either, because she was largely responsible for feeding her family at all costs. This was often through hunting illegally and selling game on the black market. The Hunger Games is a great book because it has an even distribution of action, edge-of-your seat plot lines, and drama.

    Warning ahead is spoilers for book 2! Isn't it horrible when you're left standing with only two friends up against a monster that they cannot see? Well that's how Ransom Riggs left us in Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar children:Hollow city. I just finished the third installment of the miss Peregrine's trilogy and it was better than the other two I have to say! This book by Ransom Riggs is called Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children:Library of souls. This story wraps up the whole series greatly! The setting takes place back in what we know of in the book as a London train station and makes its way through London to a place where the weights hide out and introduces us to new places and new characters greatly! The protagonist Jacob,Emma,and Addison are right where we left off,trying to escape a hollow one of the many antagonists. They try to save their friends from the wights hands not knowing what's been happening to them and trying to destroy the whole wight empire at its base,that's a lot of pressure for two kids and a talking dog! When Jacob and Emma and Addison attempt to cross and save their friends they run into a couple problems, which if you read you will find out what they are. I really loved this book and it's ending to it's a really. If recommend if you've read the other two books or would like to start!

    kathol's book review was featured in The Heartbreak Messenger.
    The Heartbreak Messenger by Alexander Vance: If breaking up is so hard, why not pay someone to do it for you. That's what the trailer for the heartbreak Messenger says. The heartbreak messenger is a great book with drama and a lot of break ups. Quintin didn't ever try to be the heartbreak messenger, he was just sitting at his best friend Rob's house when Rob's big brother mentioned wanting to break up with his girlfriend. At first Quintin thought it was nothing until Rob's brother mentioned paying one of them to do it. Without thinking Quintin agreed to do it. After it was done Rob's brother told his friends and then it started Quintin was the heartbreak messenger. He charged 20 dollar for a break up 50 if you want to give them chocolates and flowers. The antagonist is Abby his best friend because she wants him to stop being the heartbreak messenger. Quintin is the protagonist. One conflict is Abby gets a boyfriend named Justin, and another one is Justin wants to break up with Abby. What will he do? Find out in the book. I really liked this book and would recommend it to all people who love a good book filled with drama. I hope of you read you will love it as much as I did.
