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.

this is in awsome seris
i think this book was a little to violent i didn't enjoy this book very much as i did to others.
absolutly amazing series this book got me hooked I HATE THE TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE NO ONE LOOKS RIGHT EXCEPT GALE KINDA I can alost relate to katniss but not very deeply
Thats crazy! Everyone looks fine. If you think they don't read the book series again and see how much less amazing they are described in the book. If you are talking about the capitol people i can agree.
A friend recommened i read it and I loved the first one and I am currently reading Cathing Fire and so far its GREAT!
I love, love, love this book! It was freaky, but heartwarming, and very suspenseful. I thought it was one of the best books i ever read!
Really good book I love it! Can't wait to see the movie!
I read this book because of all the hype about it. I read it when it was not as famous and a grew to love it! It is definitely the best one in the series.
This is one of my fav books and I would reccomend it to anyone who loves adventure in 5th to 8th grade.
This book is a great tale of one girl's fight for what she believes in. Kept me up all night!
