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.

BBBBBBBBEEEEEESSSSSSSTTTTT BBOOOOOOOOOKK EVVVVEEEERRR!!! am asking for copies for xmas!!!!

Action packed and well written I loved it!

I am currently reading Catching fire on my kindle, but the first book is crazy. I have not seen any of the movies yet, but this book cannot be missed. If you rate this book below 3, something is wrong with you.

I've saw the first two movies. When I was done watching it I thought about reading the books. So I did and I will say I loved them. I recommend these mainly if you love romance and action

This is a story about a girl who lives in a different type of city. Each town is called a district there are 12, once there was 13 but something happened. Katniss Everdeen had a normal life, well as normal as one could get, when her sister Prim is called to go "play" in the Hunger Games. Katniss volunteers and she doesn't realized what she has gotten her self into but, it doesn't matter she'll do any thing for Prim. When Katniss goes into the "games" she signs up for an unwanted love story. Will she survive?

I read it because my mmom was reading the series
