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.

Love love love, this book everything about it, couldn't put it down! So interesting and full of action and adventure. I recommend this book for 12 and over only as it can be violent, scary, and maybe a little hard to understand for younger kids. Suzanne Collins is a brilliant writer and for sure my favorite! I_Make_Reviews, yes there is a Maze Runner series and I know you will love the book just as good as the movie!
This book is one of my favorites so far in my reading life. These kind of books are just amazing because of the descriptive words and how my mind races at times when the main character is a risk. Before i found out about this series, i was in love with harry potter, but this is hunger games so i'll stop with the harry potter, and the first book blew my mind all the way to china. It was so amazing, i could not put down these books. I love these books and if possible make a maze runner series. if there is one, plz tell me i LOVED the movie. - By I_Make_Reviews
It is the best book EVER! If you read Divergent, The Maze Runner, or Slated, you will LOVE it! But, I do have to admit, the book may not be appropriate for kids under 12.
OMG the best book ever!!! I recommend it for anyone above the age of ten though my little brother who is 8 watched the movie and loved it so it just depends on if you are ok with reading about death and possibly the future because even though this is fantasy it is a possibility in the future
If you have not read this book you are missing out!. The words nearly flow off the page though it can be very scary. I would recommend for fans of fantasy novels such percy jackson harry potter ect ages 9 and older
Have to read this book! It will make Harry potter seem boring! Such a great book, I have to admit I did see the movies first, but I feel it showed me more of how to picture the everything and how the games worked. I highly recommend this book for kids 12 and older, as it can be violent. If you are the person that likes action, suspense, and surprise, this book will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. Suzanne Collins is a brilliant writer and so creative. I hope you enjoy the books as much as i do! P.s I am team Peeta :)
This book series is the best! I have to admit I did watch the movies before reading the books, but i feel like it gave me a better image of how to picture everything and how the games works. I have already read the series twice and highly recommend it for kids 12 and older, as it can be violent. If you are a person who loves thrill, excitement, suspense, and a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat this is the book for you. Suzanne Collins is a brilliant and creative writer. I hope you love the books as much as I do! P.s I am team Peeta :)

These books are the best! I have to admit i saw the movies before reading the books, but i feel like it gave me a better picture of how the hunger games worked and it gave me a picture of how things looked. even so I loved the book series and have read them twice! Suzanne Collins is an amazing writer and is so creative. I highly recommend this book for people 12 and older as it can be violent. whoever loves action, suspense, and a book that keeps you guessing this would be a top choice. :)
I absolutely love this book. It's extremely touching. For the people who say the book has only to do with children killing each other- you're incorrect. If she wants to win the hunger games, Katniss has to make a choice. She has to choose against humanity.
