Description
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 steps forward to take her sister's place 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 will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Excellent book. Everyone at my school loved reading it. Never stayed on the shelf
I loved the Hunger games books by Suzanne Collins. The story only gets better, page after page. I am so glad I read these books before I saw the movies because there is so much more story in the books. The movies leave a lot to be desired. Suzanne Collins is a very talented writer and since I read the Hunger Games I have been searching for more titles from her. I love her writing style. If you want get prices on books like the Hunger Games, I suggest Amazon.ca for your reading pleasures. I have bought many books from this site.
Love this book - it was easy to get through and left you wanting more.
Thankfully I started it when the whole series was out otherwise I don't think I could wait to find out what was next.
it maked me all emotionnal!!! love it and everybody should read that book
I love to read. A great excape for me when I can not rode my horse.
Finally got around to picking up this series and so happy I did. truly enjoy the books! I found them much deeper and detailed then the movie. Movies change the writters work too much. This is one series I will truly suggest to friends as a must read
I LOVED this book! I am huge reader so ive seen many a book but this one is definetly one of my favorites. I love how katniss is so independent and peeta so caring. I would definetly recomend this book but be prepared to be dissapointed by the movie.
Great read for both the young and older and the movie was also great waiting for the next movie to come out this year. Should I read book 2 I wonder? People are saying book 2 & 3 are not as good. We will see
I bought this book because I wanted to see the movie but wanted to read the book first and boy did I enjoy it. Kept me wanting to read more. Its a nice easy read for Adult.
Bought this for my then 13 year old son, but I read it in one day before I even gave it to him. Well written for both a teen read and adult. Looked forward to the next two books as well, bought them
I loved the first book and was really excited to read the next installments. However, i was a bit disappointed with the other books in comparison and the trilogy as a whole. The first one is worth the read the rest just tie up some loose ends. They do engage the reader though for the most part.
