An Afternoon Spent on Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins
Just watched the first season of hunger games and I wanted to see how the story unfolded in the books. So grabbing my wallet and the helmet I rode to the dingy old-bookshop across the corner on my bicycle. This was the book I didn't have with me at home so I had to buy it but I got a bad news when I stopped infront of the bookshop. Because there on a white board it was written in bold letters closed. I didn't want to put it off till tomorrow so I made a u-turn and headed for the library. Thankfully I was able to borrow the book, racing back home, I got comfortable on the couch and started reading. And here's my opinion on 'The Hunger Games' written by Suzanne Collins.
