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.

AWESOME BOOK BEST BOOK EVER
cool book
This book is great it is so cool in so many ways
This book had to be the best book out of them all.Wait I don't know I loved all the books and movies.It would be nice if there were more books for the Hunger Games,but it doesn't matter.I have like a crazy obsession over Mocking Jay though.
I love this book. I'm almost done with it.
I honestly didn't like it very much. It was fine, but Hunger Games, Divergent, and Maze Runner are so alike in my opinion. It was fine, but personally I don't like the storyline that much.
This book is one of my favorites and I feel the plot is really complex, it keeps the reader hooked the whole book. It is definitely the best book in the series, though I liked Mockingjay too. Can't wait to see the new movie!
This book was not a book that I originally wanted to read. I only read it because it had a movie after it and I wanted to see if it was similar. I did not like it at all.
The Hunger Games is a great book! Especially if you read the whole series. It's one of my favorites.
