Author's Note: I am in the middle of a very good series right now so that's what I decided to write about. . . There's not much more to say! :)
If you could write your own book what would it be about? Princesses? Ninjas? A Little Coffee Mug that could? No matter what you choose all you need to make any book interesting are great ideas that are very well organized, detail that will blow the reader’s mind, and word choice that excels anything that’s humanly possible. Two books that come to mind with those qualities are The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. These two books will have you on the edge of you seat because of the well organized ideas, mind-blowing detail, and what seems to be humanly impossible word choice.
Both "The Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire" are well organized into three parts. With this feature it really helps you understand what is going on on each page in each chapter of each part. Another component of this well organized book is how the dialogue is set up. Many books start with telling you who’s talking and finishes with them assuming that you know who’s talking. Now I know if I’m reading a book like that when I’m done with the piece of dialogue I have to go back and say to myself “Okay, so it’s Katniss now Peeta now Haymitch now Peeta again,” and it just wastes time! So my point is that "Catching Fire" and "The Hunger Games" have very well organized dialogue.
The detail is just exquisite! When you’re getting really into the book you’re reading and you start to picture it in your head- well with these books it’s like the actual movie is in your head! Instead of you deciding what Peeta looks like you know what he looks like because of the detail. Where the hunger games exist in the arena isn’t just guessed as a forest-y area it’s thoroughly explained as one. Bottom line; the detail in "The Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire’s" unbelievable detail helps make the book come to life!
The word choice-- it’s just. . . so amazing! I, not trying to brag, but I have a pretty high level of word choice and a good chunk of the words in that book I don’t even know the meaning of! Some examples of high level word choice include deceptively, smoldering, and drastic. Huh? See what I mean!? Imagine what the word choice in "Mockingjay" will be like! Tying in with detail- without excellent word choice there would be not exquisite detail. If I were to write a sentence like 'The dog is black'- BORING! With high level word choice that boring sentence could turn from <snore> to 'The annoying dog that won’t stop barking is a mysterious shade of midnight black,' and that’s exactly what the words in "The Hunger Games and Catching Fire" are like.
The well organized ideas, mind-blowing detail, and the word choice that seems humanly impossible will have you on the edge of your set while reading "The Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire." If you’re looking for a book that will have you continuing to read without stopping these definitely books to take a peek at.
