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.

How old do u have to be to read this?
this was the best distopian i ever read and i loved every minute of it!
i love how the whole time in the book, Peeta thinks that his and katniss's love was real and katniss isnt even sure.
Awesome!
Books 2 & 3 get a big gory.
This is a dystopia/utopia type book. YOU WILL LOVE IT! You're especially going to love the Mockingjay symbol. This is one of my favorite books!
This book is an awesome book. It was so good, I would read it while my parents thought I was asleep!
I am DYING to read this book!!!!
I LOVED this book the movie was better than the book but I think that the hunger games movie was better than the 2nd one catching fire. but the absolute best book of the hunger games trilogy was mockingjay, I mean this book has something for everyone, they all do, but mostly this one! it has war , action, a little romance, rebellion against the capitol, katniss, peeta, AND IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT STOP READING NOW!!!!!! prim,yes, poor precious primrose Everdeens death.......... a happy ending, but most of all LOTS of excitement and fear then happiness our favorite character didn't die, unless ur fave was prim, president snow, and way more people!!! overall it was an awesome book that you ahould read if you haven't already!!! : )
