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 Hunger Games Review - A Good Reason To Read This Book Is Because It Teaches How To Survive In A Lonely Place Or With Somebody This is based on a girl who volunteers for her sister because she was afraid she could have seen her that day and never again . Katniss thinks everyone would remember by The Girl On Fire (^*^) Katniss is a special girl because she has a lot unexpected happenings happening and she always needs to be ontop to survive with new love Peeta This is when love friendship comes out Peeta a guy who lives in district 12 with Katniss , Gale and Primrose ; and has been MADLY in l(*)ve with Katniss everdeen a very nice guy who tries to show how much he loves Katniss in the GAMES . A Perfect Friendship with a nice and intellegent guy names Gale you can regret being with a nice guy like this so lovely and kind but at mockingjay he will never be forgiven , when Katniss finds out its her opposite reaction from winning and saving her sister's life This is when Katniss comes in , an ordinary girl with an uncomfortable life living a careless mother , sweet sister , greatest friend , and her admirer from when he met her she survives the games and has a lovely life rich and famous - your reviewer

The Hunger Games is a extraordinary book about love, friendships, and action. The movie (as we all know) will be an enchanting action filled movie based on this book. Where Katniss Everdeen will face the biggest challenge of her life. Fighting in the Hunger Games.
