This is a really great book. It is about a girl name Katniss who takes her sisters place in the Hunger Games and the last survivor will get extra food for their district. I highly recommend this book.

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.

i wanna see the movie!! its an amazing book, except for the last book in the seris. absolutely horrible. personly, i hated it.
I am replying to char120, that this is a good book but certainly certainly certainly and I could go on all day but my point is that it is and will never be better than HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg Harry Potter and Twilight are the worst books ever compared to the hunger games trilogy!!!!
This book is very interesting and I think Ms. Collins did a very good job. However sometimes it was very boring. Though it made me very grateful that I wasn't in District 12 and wasn't in the Hunger Games.

This is the best book ever. Although it has a little violence it shows to be determine. it also teaches one important lesson: no matter what as long as you don't give up nothing is impossible.
