the most awesomest book The Hunger Games

This book named The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, happens to be a book that I read rather recently. It was the hands down best book I've ever read. It was so good that I had to force myself to go to bed at nights in order to get some rest so I could read more the next day. The front cover of the book is what really caught my attention when I was looking for a new book to read. I usually would pick books that have fun and rather bright colors because they seem like they would be fun books to read. Examples of these are the Pendragon series, Holes, and many others. However, with this book it wasn't as bright or fun colored. Yet, it still caught my attention. I like to think that maybe it was the golden bird with the arrow in the ring off centered from the middle of the cover. But when I look at it more and more I start to think it was the intricate design in the background that actually caught my attention. Or maybe it was the way the words are presented. The block type words of the title make the book look like an action packed book to me, which it actually happened to be very action packed. Also, to me the simpler the cover of the book without seeming extremely boring, the better it seems to be. It's like the author or illustrator of the book cover doesn't want to over do the awesomeness of the book which really appeals to me. This book accomplishes just that. The black background makes it seem mysterious while the gold designing makes it look elegant. I don't know exactly what it was but this book cover really drew me in and I really enjoyed the book.

  1. I have exactly never heard of this book! It seems really interesting but probably nothing that I would ever read no offense :)

  2. I have heard so much about this series! They are definitely on my list of books to read! Everyone keeps talking about them and I just have to see what all the hype is about! Although the cover would not usually appeal to me, you're right about the black background being very mysterious which does make me want to check it out. I couldn't believe that even the fifth graders in the class I interned were reading them...especially when I heard what they're about!
