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.

This is a really great book. My friend recommended The Hunger Games to me and it is adventurous and sad.
Personally this isn't the best book I have read. I found it a little boring and wasn't really excited to be reading the next one. I would prefer other books. But I know a lot of other people really enjoyed so I won't put you off the book with negativity.
LLLLLLOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEEDDDDDD IT!
This book is great and even though people say it is too violent for them, you just get lost in the story!
Very entertaining and sad at the same time. I couldn't put the book down.

This book is super fun filled. It takes you through a huge battle, and keeps you on edge. Katniss is the main character of the book who has a crush on Gale. Katniss is elected as on of the people who has to fight for her life. It is separated into 12 district with two peop,e in each district. Katniss ends up winning and they live happily ever after.
