                                                              The  Hunger Games   It will come as a pleasant surprise and a delight to many readers that the protagonist in this series is a female unlike other popular series like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson . This was the first series I read where a female is a lead character. It may be a deviation from the normal, but females make a good lead role as much as males. Believe me!  Katniss Everdeen - the victor of the 74th Hunger games- designed by the Capitol of Panem. What am I talking about? Well, “Panem” is an imaginary, futuristic America created by author Suzanne Collins. Now, Panem is divided into 2 parts, The Capitol(where all the rich and privileged live) and the districts(where the downcasts ...

The Hobbit

Hey everyone. I have been blogging for the past 1 year, however I used to blog on Animals. I thought I would try something different. I wanted to write book reviews as I love reading books and read different genres, mostly in fiction, and I wanted to share my perspective of books with others.  And here I am with my first book review “The Hobbit”! The hobbit was first written by J.R.R Tolkien in 1932 and this book is about 90 years old and remains a great book even today! I have heard about this title mostly from the movies and so I decided to read it. 3 movies of “the hobbit” have been made and are based on this one book and so I think you will enjoy the book as it packs quite a punch! The Hobbit is a fiction-based book with numerous mythical creatures like dwarfs, wizards, goblins, big wolves, and obviously a hobbit. A Hobbit is a fat creature that wears bright-colored clothes, has thick leathery soles that act like shoes, and is about half our height. The story begins in a v...
