Okay. I am about to explode with rage so I might give away some spoilers to the Hunger Games (you should srsly read the Hunger Games) and this book which won't matter to you anyway because you will NOT READ THIS BOOK AFTER READING MY REVIEW. Enjoy :) 
 You like the Hunger Games? WELL DO YA?! I CAN'T HEAR YOOOUU! Well your in luck because we got a 10 dollar doppelganger right here :D! 
 I was searching the internets for a book like the Hunger Games. What I wanted was some sort of dystopian society with that hint of romance and love triangles that every good book needs. What I got was a complete look-a-like Hunger Games but HORRIBLE. 
 (Totally Optional...DON'T SUE ME) Feel free to pinch yourself on your left arm every time I say "3" within the parentheses. It's just simulating the irritation I felt when reading these similarities. 
 It's about a girl named Malencia Vale (.3. Uncommon "unique" name) who has come of age for the Testing (.3. Hunger Games? Testing? Isn't that a little bit too similar?!) Her father tells her to trust no one but her mates and crap (.3. Haymitch, anyone?) Then she's riding on some sort of bus or train (.3. Train. TRAIN. PRE-HUNGER GAMES TRAIN.) and meets for not-the-first-time Tomas (.3. One, this is the obvious Peeta of the Testing and Two, his name is spelled wrong.) who predictably steals her heart (.3. No need for explaining there.) The Testing is about 4 or 5 (I kind of forgot) mental challenges that are indeed DEADLY (.3. Deadly. Hunger Games Deadly.) SO, within the 4th or 5th challenge, the last challenge, Tomas and Cia have to endure a harsh environment where other test-takers are running wild with weapons planning to kill everyone in their sights (.3. No. Just...No.) Then, Tomas and Cia kill their way to the finish line (Cuz it was sort of like a race... Nice try Joelle Charbonneau, trying to deflect it away from the Hunger Games. Yeah, you failed.) and complete the testing together (.3. I have no words) becoming an instant celebrity (.3.), rich(.3.), and getting a new, fancier home as well (.3.) And Cia soon realizes that the place she used to call home is actually keeping some important secrets that Cia will predictably soon uncover(.3.) 
 Woah, that was long. But you see why this book was so terrible, don't you? You don't write a book that you KNOW is similar to other books! 
 And look, here's one I missed: THE TITLE HAS A PENDANT ON IT!! (.3.3.3.3.3.3.3...faints...) 
 What is it called, huh? 'The Testingjay'?! 
 So yeah, don't read this book unless you want to torture yourself. 
 IF THIS BOOK IS SO BAD, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY 5 STAR REVIEWS, YOU ASK?! 
 Well here's an answer: Those 5-star people just simply haven't read the Hunger Games.

 Congratulations! You have just completed the Testing Games! (And have also given yourself a fresh bruise on your left arm)
