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 year is the 74th Hunger Games, in the Hunger Games, you will have to fight for survival, and the last two to survive is the winner. The Hunger games was created by the Capitol that was really cruel and harsh. In every district there will be 2 people selected, a girl and a boy. This time Katniss was selected and had to fight in it. They did a lot of training and was ready to be in the game. Katniss was not really lonely in the Hunger Games, she had to decided wether she will team up with the other people or be independent. Throughout the game many people helped her to survive. She eventually bumped into Peeta, which was the boy that was selected from district 12, same as Katniss. They both know deeply that they loved each other very much. At the end they both survived the hunger games, and Katniss was known as the mocking jay in the Capitol. Since Katniss won this game, she helped her family a lot. Now that the Capitol knows how hard she is to control, they will want to try and hurt her, and the people she cares about. I would really recommend this book to a person who really likes realistic fiction, and action book. Not only I recommend this book, I recommend the whole series.

this book is very action packed but is sad in some parts but over all I recommend reading this book. I've watched all the movies and the movies are pretty good to but I still like the books much better. the book is about a girl named katniss who volunteers for her sister to fight in the hunger games. the girl is an ace when it comes to bow and arrow shooting and on the adventure she befriends a boy named peeta. peeta is excellent at art and can make himself blend in with almost any surrounding he is also very strong and can throw javelins. well they win the hunger games and she goes back home but president snow calls all the winners back for another hunger game and katniss is heartbroken. and that's were the 2 book/movie begins
This book was very sad but funny and darkly humurous at some points
This was a really good book
