The Hunger Games
Suzanne Collins
Launch the media gallery 1 player - media #1In 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.
I really liked this book, and quickly read it. It has action, romance, mystery, and its just fun to read. It has been made into movies, but the book is a must read, even if you have seen the movie.
