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.

All I can say is LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!! <3
I love this book so much! It keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is descriptive and has a few laughs along the way. It can be a little disturbing to some people because there is death. If you are fine with that then I really reccomend it! It may look hard but if you like it then it takes no time at all. Again I highly reccomend it!
Great for people who like suspense and action filled books!
