July 16-18 Chapters 9-12 (pages 114-171)

I could not stop reading after these 4 chapters! Finally! The Hunger Games are about to begin! I can literally feel how scared Katniss is. I honestly think the Hunger Games are ridiculous. Even though Katniss is getting trained and prepared for the games, it's pretty intense for kids their age to be doing this to each other. I feel scared for Katniss! I'm SURE Katniss got a lot of sponsors, because I think she did very good job performing. I actually understand Haymitch now. I think he actually likes Katniss. Katniss just doesnt realize it. He's trying to help and train her for the games. I mean, he's going to have to be hard on her...It's the Hunger Games! I have to say, I absolutely LOVE Cinna. He's nice, he helps her, and he's very supportive for Katniss. The Hunger Games finally began. It's pretty amazing on how fast people are already starting to attack and already making allies and Careers. 24 people to keep away from is pretty difficult. Best of luck to you, Katniss!
