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.

It's a little violent in some parts but it's a great book I was reading it page from page
This book kept me on my feet! I couldn't stop reading and once i finished i couldn't wait to read the next book! The Hunger Games is full of suspence, romance, and characters that you will love! You should definately read it!
LOVE this book! Its amazing! The sequels are awesome too! Im super excited for the movie!
This book at first when i saw it, i wasn't interested at all, but as i read THE BOOK got more exiting and intriging i kept reading and read all 3 books in 1 day. I love this book because of the love petta and katniss have for each other and also the worrying of all the time: Will they win? WILL they lose? OR will they die? . read the book and find out.

I LOVED this book! I was hooked from the first page and read all three books this summer in one week! ( I did not feed my family or sleep much that week!)
I finally decided to read this book because it was on the bestseller list for over a year. I figured it was time to give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did. I whipped right through the entire series. It would probably be considered a book in the science fiction genre, and I don't usually read it. This book was so good, I found that I went searching for other books similiar to this one.
Amazing Book!
This book has TONS of action! It was a definite page turner!!
can't get enough so glad i read these what should i read now
