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.

Katniss Everdeen lives in District 12 with her mother and little sister. Her father was killed by a mine explosion. Often, Katniss goes beyond the District boundaries with Gale(her friend) to hunt for game to trade for other goods. Then, the day for choosing Hunger Games tributes comes. Katniss's sister is chosen and she volunteers in her place. Next, Peeta Mellark is chosen. The rest is for you to read. It's a really good book that won't be able to put down!

This is one of my favorite books of all time! I love the fantasy setting of the future gone wrong, and it was an exciting book. Personally, I thought parts were very sad, and I love the rest of the series and the movie.
