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.

i love this book
the 3rd book is not as good as the rest of the books but the first and second are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this series is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen. In the "future" a place called the capital rules all of North America. Instead of states there are districts and each district does something to help the capital in some way.Katniss lives in district 12, which is a coal mining district. each year there is something called the hunger games. the hunger games in when a girl and a boy from the ages of 12-18 from each district fight to the death.the last person alive win and gets food and money. when katnis' sister gets chosen katniss volenters to basicly get killed. You see district 12 does not always win acually there is only one person that won the hunger games in katniss' district. When katniss gets to the capital to compete in the hunger games she finds out that the boy that is in her district has a crush on her. so blah blah blah... she wins the hunger games and then there is something called the quarter quell. the quarter quell is every 25 years and it was the 74th hunger games so quarter quell time. the quarter quell is a special hunger games and instead of the regular hunger games there is something different. The quarter quell for the 50th hunger games was x2 of the regular 24 people ( which is 48 people) well that year there was only people that already won the hunger games. so katniss gets to do the hun ger games again because there are no other girl people that won. and yadda yadda yadda she escaps and all of the districs revolt and its chaos the last book is very sad well i hope i didn't spoil the books for you but if you watch the movies thaT are already out you can guess wat is is going to be about i didnt spoil the last book for you its sad though:-( theses books are so good i loved reading them i hope you will too :-)
