In the beginning, it was really boring, but when you got into the good parts, it was amazing! I couldn't stop reading it and I'm so happy I didn't let this book down.

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.

The best book I've ever read! The main character is a girl, unlike many other stories which is awesome! I would recommend this book to everyone of all ages.
The Hunger Games is such a good story! I want to read this trilogy set so badly!!!
It was such a great book, I recommend it for everyone. It has such great imagery and detail, I honestly think it is better than the movie.

This book was a wonderful story and it was better than the movie.
I like the movie and the book
The first book is really good! I highly suggest reading the whole series. The first book just kinda gives you and idea of what district twelve and the other districts are and then you have the captiol PLEASE READ THIS BOOK HOPEFULLY YOU WILL GET THE HUNGER GAMES FEVER LIKE I DID!!!!! But it is really GOOD!!!
I love this book so much! People fighting to the death might sound gross, but I encourage everyone to try this book.
