This book is amazingly written, and an with awesome thrilling plot, but there is too much love and kissing that it becomes uninteresting. My advice is to read the book and then watch the movie, because in my opinion, the movie is better.

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.

This is an awesome book! I finished the entire series and this is the most surprising and moving one of them all.

its relly gooooooodddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good book
This book is literally the best book I've ever read. It's a very action packed book and it can make you jump out of your seat. I liked it so much that I've read it more that once! I highly recommend this book.
Agreed
I think this book was the best! It took 2 days to finish it I was soooo into it.
I really, really, enjoyed this book. Katniss takes the stage, with her bow and arrow. When I first read this book, (NOT SO LONG AGO), I was amazed at how the book went. I always read the book before I see the movie, both of them are great! I read this whole book in a DAY, I was so into the action, romance, and weird nature of the story. I know this review might never get to the top review, but just something I wanted to write.
