I LOVE archery and adventure in the outdoors... I have always enjoyed war movies and books, also competitions, and really loved Lord of the Flies... I already watched The Hunger Games movies and was wondering would I like this books and also if the movies would spoil them?

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.

At first I only skim through the book and thought it is boring Then my friend read it and was into it so I read all of them My teacher has all of the books I admire Katniss courage
This book is AMAZING! Suzanne Collins is an amazing writer and her books are beyond words!
One of my favorite books of all time. This book has lots of suspense, and every page includes twists and turns. Made me beg a friend of mine to borrow the second and third book of the series from her.
