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.

Hunger games book is amazing. Haven't even seen the movie, so I don't know if it's any good. Kinda afraid though, cause the visuals might be a bit to gory for me, considering it was hard to even read about for me. Yuck
There is a fan made second quarter quell video on youtube, and it is sooooooooooooooo much better than the movie! The movie is good but it left out and added in so much.
I love the first book the most but i agree that it is WAY better than the movie!
I really want to read these books.
All i'm going to say is the book is way better than the movie well the first anyway
THE BEST BOOK EVER!
I really loved this book.I loved how at times you could cry(but i didn't) you could laugh,or just have a OH MY GOSH moment but that is what i love about her writing it can have so many mixed emotions. That is why i just loved the Hunger games.
I've read it the series is good but its maddening how Katniss leaves the guy who has loved her forever for some baker who fakes it to survive.
the movie is better
