    The book The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins is the second book of the Hunger Games series. Catching fire is about Katniss Everdeen and her family and colleagues-Peeta Mallark, Haymitch, Eva , Cinna, and her best friend Gale. They all suddenly become targets when Katniss's big act in the 74th Hunger Games becomes hope for all the other districts and suddenly an uprising starts to emerge. Twelve months after winning the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and her partner Peeta Mellark must go on what is known as the Victor's Tour, wherein they visit all the districts, but before leaving, Katniss is visited by President Snow who fears that Katniss defied him a year ago during the games when she chose to die with Peeta. With both Katniss and Peeta declared the winners, it is fueling a possible uprising. He tells Katniss that while on tour she better try to make sure that she puts out the flames or else everyone she cares about will be in danger. I would recommend this book to the ages around 13-16 which are teens, because the book has some contents that are more fits to the teens, also this book is the second book of the Hunger Games, Same rating on the first book, full star and I love it, the story is not boring at all and contains lots of new information. High;y recommend this book to other readers.

    patricky's book review was featured in Being Bad: My Baby Brother and the School-to-Prison Pipeline (Teaching for Social Justice Series) (Teaching for Social Justice (Paperback)).
    In this book, the author is focusing on the issue of social issues in the world like in schools. Everywhere in the world, there is social injustice, especially against people of different skin colors. Chris, a kid who was known as a bad kid by others, is the main focus of the story, and the reader will learn about the social issues with different people during that time. The best part of the book is how the author describes their lives while also showing the readers the social issues that are happening in many places. After reading this book, I learned about the history of African-American teenager's social world and their insights. Overall, I would recommend this book to others who are reading books about social issue or needed information on that topic.

    The book, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is one of the classic action book and one of the best action book I ever seen, basically the book is about Panem is split up into 12 districts. Each year, every district is forced to randomly choose two tributes--one girl and one boy--to fight in the annual Hunger Games. A fight to the death on live television. Katniss Everdeen takes her sister's place when she is called to be the tribute of the 74th annual Hunger Games. Panem is the name of the country where Katniss lives with her family, a country that – after a series of vague disasters – rose from the ashes of North America. Droughts, storms, fires, war: it's all pretty post-apocalyptic. We learn the history of Panem, and the Hunger Games, and the thirteen districts in the first chapter from the mayor. The uprising of the Districts is known as the "Dark Days" . After the destruction of District 13, the Treaty of Treason was signed to end the conflict, and the Hunger Games were instituted to remind the districts that the uprising must never be repeated. This book has another 2 books(Catching Fire and Mockingjay), and it's the first book of the Hunger Game Series. I personally Love this book and I love to read over and over again because the storyline makes the reader's heart pumped up and nervous. I recommend this book to the ages around 13-16 because teens would love this book and also they will understand this book around this age, not too old but not too young. I rate this book for a 5 star because is one of my favorite book, the story is creative and entertaining and at last this book is full of action and mystery.

    After reading this book, I learned a lot about enjoying life and how a break in your head and a break in your life can change a person's life, and also how to get back up again. In the book, after Elizabeth Gilbert got divorced, she tried to live a new life again, and then she met the boy, David, but they didn't work out, and then she found out that all these is actually not the life that she wants. Then she decide to leave behind all the things that she have already, all the modern American success, instead, what she really wanted from life is a discovery of different places with different culture, so she went on a trip to travel three countries. She went to Italy, India, and Bali, to enjoy life in different cultures, she went to Italy to enjoy life, India to devote, and Bali to find Ketut, the meditator who told her to come back when she went for writing. After all the trips and discovering, she found what she truly want from the beginning, what to devote, and the man, it's life, it's the life that she loves to live for. I really really enjoy reading this book, this book actually made me think of what life really matters to me, for now, I'm just a student all I could do is studied, but who says I can't dream about what I want to do for my life afterwards. After reading this book, I actually think a lot about what I want to do with my life, but then, I figure out that the life that I really want to live for is to be happy and enjoy my life in my own way, no matter what that would be. This book is really good, I recommend it to you, I really think that you should read it, it's a great book, and it also help you think what you really want your life to be like, you want your life now? because it makes you happy and you're satisfied with it, or you want a better life that you would enjoy and not regret when you're old? Just read this book, you would really enjoy reading it, there is also a movie of this book too, you'll probably like it too.
