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 really liked this book and I liked the movie even more, but compared to a lot of the other dystopian books that are coming out it really isn't amazing. The series just diminished as it got longer and is kind of more famous than it needs to be, books like Legend by Marie Lu and Divergent by Veronica Roth deserve the same kind of fame this book has gotten.
Trust me. You really need to read this book again. IT IS AWESOME!
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT ! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! it was aweome.
i love it
this book is the best ever written and the movie isn't half bad either
The movie isn't HALF bad? Man, you sick, dog!
i cant wait to read this book omg
this is the best but dont forget to read sequal called DRAMA!
Great book! I freaking LOVED it!! Best out of the ENTIRE series! It had lovely action full of blood and imagination, and romance in the most UNcommon way and it was just AWESOME!!! Though one of my friends didn't really like it.......
this is one of the best books ever! Its a girl who lives in a corrupt government, who battles kids her age, fights for her life, and has to choose the love of her life. The movie is good, but if you want the whole experience, READ the book. its amazing, you wont regret it.
The Hunger Games is an exciting book full of adventure & interesting concepts. It is a very emotionally strong book for younger children but I'm ten years old and i enjoyed it quite frankly. Great book but can get scary at times. Overall, I love it!
