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.

Movie is good book is better
This book is awesome!!! It was a little boring until page 110(when the games begin).
This book is awesome! I would recommend reading it if you are over 10! It is kind if scary and sad, but it is a great book!😃
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.
