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 could read this book over and over again
I LOVE THIS BOOK IT IS AWESOME I LOVE IT
This book was off THE CHAIN. I can't believe how wild and crazy it was. going to be the best book if you read it.
This story was amazing, suspenseful, and heartbreaking at times. It had gripping action as well as a bit of romance, which is always nice ;) Katniss is a wonderful main character, and I enjoyed reading all 3 of the books. I would recommend this book to anyone over 4th grade.
I really liked this book because it gives way more details than the movie. In The Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins has created a fascinating end world. Reading. The Hunger Games can lead to interesting discussions about our own world and how reality shows, force of war, strict governments and excitement with way movement control us daily.
I really liked this book because it gives way more details than the movie. I also liked it because there was a great plot to this book and I read it during school. Sometimes I go back to this book and read it!
The adventures in this book is fascinating and unpredictable. Some things normally won't happen in real life, but they happened in "The Hunger Games." This book is full of action and dynamic parts.
"The Hunger Games" by, Suzanne Colins was very interesting. There was so much suspense and excitement during the story. Many exciting events happened. Especially unexpected events. This book was very interesting and loved by many people.
