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 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 regards it as a death … it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister’s place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to death before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Still, if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

This is a great book! If you love unique and apocalyptic stories, as well as ones with twists, then I suggest this book. (The book is better than the movie).

OMG,i was really like thinking why my older sister liked the movies and the books.Then we had this project where we have to read the same book and give a presentation on how we thought it was.i was like ughhhh do i have to do this and then the first few chapters i got hooked on it and i would bring it with me everywhere and i would just read it over and over.I even started to watch the movies on netflix then they took it off and i was like why?why does netflix hate me? so i would just borrow and borrow the books over and over again. My sister was super obsessed and now i started to get why. me and my sister would just sit there reading or watch the books but then we started to slowly VERY SLOWLY grow out of The Hunger Games ………………………………………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The Outsiders
I can’t wait to read the next one.

Couldn’t put the books down!!! Great storyline
Great plot with a few real twists. Great read for adults and teens alike.
I love a story that takes me someplace new. This is definitely one of those stories.
I love this book. It is full of action and great character depth especialy the further you get into the series. I have read other books with a similar premise, but I still love this one.
