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 book was absolutely outstanding. Katniss is an extraordinary character that has to go through outrageous situations, and handles them extremely well. There is mild cussing so mature readers are suggested. The plot is great and the theme of rebellion is exquisite. I highly recommend reading this book. Five stars from me c:

Catching fire is my favorite. But Part 1 is the first one, so read that first! I read all 3, and you can't start from book 3, then book 1, then book 2. You have to do 1, 2, 3. Seeing all of the reviews, this one helps by little. All I see in these reviews is 4.5 - 5 Stars, which is amazing for Suzzane Collins. Although i would give the entire series a 4.9 rating, 5 stars for this book. And if you doubt that it is good, you disagree with like 10 million people. Also, a tip, this isn't a book where you read the book and watch the movie. You can watch the movie and then read the book. * I prefer reading the book first, but my buddy says he watched the movie first and still got the story. Suzzane Collins must have made 3 livings after writing this book. All in all, if anyone is interested in reading an amazing book, with fun filled adventures with Catnip and Peter's hunger game experience, read the hunger games!
love the book
I absolutely LOVE this series! Out of the three books, I say that Mockingjay is the best, but the other two come close! Wonderful read.
This book was ok. I don't really understand why everyone loves it. It was very boring and drawn out. It was very violent and unrealistic. I do not believe it would ever happen. If you go on to pbskids.org sesame street made fun of the Hunger Games and made a game called the Hungry Games. Cookie monster is trying to find the banana while wearing a Katniss wig. If you think about it, this book is ridiculously far-fetched. It is pretty much reading about adults watching kids kill each other.
OKAY, Great book! I read it in 2 days! Trust my you'll be adiccited!! Such a cliff hanger... A defint Must read.
I think you really liked this book because you read this book in 2 days
yeah. I finished it in one night. (stayed up all the night LOL)
A little strange you read each book in two days. Are both books similar? Cause you wrote the same review for each book.
luv it
