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.

This book is a fantastic series of events that will keep leaving you in sespence. I recommend this to readers that love science fiction. The tragic story of love and friendship will blow your mind. Its addicting, I could not put the book down. And I am going to see the movie, when it comes out in March.
From the ashes of America, Panem rose creating peace, until the dark days came. As punishment for rebelling, the 12 districts must send 1 boy and girl to fight to the death every year. 75 years later, Katniss Everdeen volunteered for her sister and she now faces death.
this is a great book. must read
Love it. In this modern world, I am a female athlete who loves adventure (which is hard to find in made-for-girls books- they are usually all about romance) but this is diffrent. Five stars.
This book and the series is so amazing! I read it over 8 times and I love it so very much!
I really loved this book. And the series. Every word keeps you on the edge, and every page keeps you wanting for more! I'm definitely on team Peeta though. :)
love love love this book! I read it the whole series in 3 days! I will probably read this book throughout the years to come! READ THIS BOOK PPL!
This book was amazing. At first when I thought when they were about to eat the posion berries. I really thought that they were going to. But then the announcer said for the first time there are two winners from the same district.
I think you will love this book for many reasons. The first reason is because it has action, romance, and comedy. If you dont like books about murder you probaly shouldn't read this book.
I LOVE THIS BOOK,AND GOIN TO SEE THE MOVIE!
