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 -Â 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.

This is an AWESOME book. The whole series is AWESOME!!!
i was so obsessed with this book i had to take it with me out to dinner and hide it under the edge of the table so i wouldn't have to stop reading. the story kept me up for several night in a row because on how good it is.
this book is very violent! I suggest NOBODY reads it.All I can say about it is that it is about kids killing kids
Oh for the love of cake, just because you're not quite into "violent" adventure books, it doesn't mean the people who are into those type of books shouldn't read it!!
I wouldn't volunteer for tribute however, Katniss was so brave
Cool. I could picture the whole thing in my head. can't wait to read Catching Fire and Mockingjay.
I feel bad about Ru the most but I still love the story!

this book is Bone chilling. And some times scary. I love this book it has action. By rhiannon
Since The Hunger Games is told in first-person, I think that adds the amazingness to it :D I would TOTALLY recommend this book to the whole entire world, and the world will join the fandom xD I loved this book, and still do! It's very detailed, although it leaves room to imagine and write fanfiction. Many of the characters die, and it adds to the drama, but I loved it all the same :3 Make sure you read this or the odds will never be in your favour >:D
I loved the hunger games. It is a vary detailed book, you get to know the people. It's not extremely gory but it has plenty of things that will make you cringe or cry. Wonderful plot with lots of twists. So I would suggest you read it! "Happy Hunger Games to you, and may the odds be ever in your faver!"
