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.

I love this, although it's slightly violent
love the movie love the book it inspires you to be brave
Great book! Luv it! To be honest, I read this book 75 times lol.
To tell you the truth, I have never actually read this book. But I am now. BTW: I like spoilers, I don't know why?
This is a really great book. Honestly,i I never actually thought that I'd like this book, because everybody is reading it. Usually I like the books that no one is really reading. But this one was super awesome. This one is about this dystopic world where there are different groups or sections our whatever you want to call them. Anyways, Katniss' sister gets chosen to go into the Hunger Games. But Katniss can't let her sister do that. So she takes her sister's place. First, she goes to the capitol, where she and the boy who was chosen from her 'group', named Peter(i think) , have to pretend to be in love. But Katniss can't help thinking about what's going to happen in the arena, where they have to fight to the death. Will Katniss survive? Who knows. Well, actually, I do, because I read the book. But whatever. Find out who wins in the Hunger Games!!!!
Wow. Even you like it. I might need to read this.
This is one of the best books I've ever read!
A wonderful book! The first book in the Hunger Games trilogy. Katniss volunteers in the Hunger Games to replace her sister. There is only one rule in the Games : kill, or be killed.
i love it
this book was very entertaining and it was very fun to read! I have to say, Suzanne Collins is a very good writer!
