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.

amazing book i recomend it to 10 and up like peta does :)

I loved this book and I would suggest this book highly! I started to read this book when I was eight, and would recommend it to ten year olds.

I decided to read this book because everyone was reading it and said it was really good, so i wanted to see for myself. I never got to finish the book because I had to bring it back to the library but what of i read so far, it was good and interesting. Yet, it was kind of confusing

My favorite action book, be advised, very mature situations though.

I want to read this book because the movie was really awesome.
