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 was DEFINITELY VIOLENT, DEFINITELY SCARY, AND DEFINITLY NOT A BOOK FOR THE 5TH GRADER I WAS WHEN I First READ THIS. Nevertheless, not a bad read. I can't say it wasn't violent, but I guess You should know this is NOT a children's book. Definitely has a clear and well described setting (s) but the characters were a bit unclear at times. I rate this 3.5 Beware THIS IS NOT A KID BOOK. That's it, the rest would spoil!

I love this book and the series :P
My friend recommend the book so i read it. I loved it so much it only took me 2-3 days to read it and i don't read that much
i loved the book from the begining one of my friends recommended it i finished this book in 2-3 days and i dont like to read that much
I thought it would be really good and it was
I choose this book because I already watch the movie and I want to read the book if it is the same.
This book is amazingly written, and an with awesome thrilling plot, but there is too much love and kissing that it becomes uninteresting. My advice is to read the book and then watch the movie, because in my opinion, the movie is better.
I...I can't put into words how awesome this book is...
I thought it was violent and it is not one of my favorites.
