Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Collins delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in this searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.

It is my favorite book I have ever read. It is kind of violent in the beginning of part two though so you have to be prepared. I would recommend reading the book before watching the movie because if you don't read the book first, you don't know what your in for. Actually it does have a lesson in it some people think its a book about children killing other children. But it actually has a HUGE lesson it has. Also its very humorous and fun to read, also it can be very sad and I recommend this book for people who love adventure.
awesome book but violent
This book is really good. But violent
A book of action, justice, and love, the Hunger Games Book 1 is the beginning of a beautifully written series by the scintillating author Suzanne Collins. For all of the readers who want a series that will never lose their attention, pick up the Hunger Games. Katniss Everdeen is a compelling and strong character who is full of perseverance and love. This book begins her story of blood, sweat, and tears in fighting for justice against the Capitol with Peeta Mellark, Gale, her mother, Cinna, Effie, Prim, and Haymitch right by her side.

Good book.
I cannot describe how Susanne Collins described Katniss and her emotions. The detail was incredible. When I read the Hunger Games, it was unforgettable.
