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.

Whoa! You are obsessed with it! I am too! I wish I could meet the actors in person. I'm pretty sure I'd faint!!
oh i know right chooseme123 i am very obsessed! You could/ should even say im the biggest fan ever!!!!! I get along really well with Hunger Games Obsessers. I get along not so well with people who hate the hunger games (*gasp* lol). I should really update that comment: Now I have the Mockingjay pin and Catching Fire is coming out this fall. If you would like to watch the trailer I just found out it is coming out on April 14th but the movie [Midnight premiere (Im going!!!] does not come out until November 22nd. I am obsessed with Finnick now too. Again, anyone with any questions may ask me:) -Natalie
i love alll the books but the first and last one was the bessstt!!!!!
This book is awesome, but younger kids may not understand that much.
It's an amazing book that I would recommend to everyone!!!
I love this book because it has so much details that it felt like I was in the book with her. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was a 370 page book and I finished it in only three days. I love that Katniss is so brave and that she never backs down or shows her weaknesses.
Best series ever! (not for young kids)
