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.

AWSOME!!
This story could be our future! I find it the most difficult book to put down!
You can't stop reading it. Agree?
Let me expand please! Haha! Katniss Everdeen is not a very unique character in herself. She is cold and hard, as most novella characters are these days. Although interesting to read about, she is not at all unique or very realistic. She has vulnerable emotions that are fun to toy with. The story is quite expertly weaved. It is written simply to build suspense and not to evaluate on any real issues. It's quick writing style is built for children of younger ages.
Aaah....Although it has been said, I do enjoy this book. Not my favorite, but a thoroughly enjoyable read. Only the first one, but it is interesting at that.

I love this book! i have read all three. All the kids in my grade love this book too.
I have read all three books. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to sneak it to different places. I couldn't put the book down for more than one second. It was good enough to keep me reading until I was hallucinating words from the book at night. This book is so moving and so interesting. Its basically giving us an idea of what our future could be like, and I hope it never happens like that...if you know what I mean lol.
i read all three. suzane is very talented and these books are my favroites. CATCHING FIRE IS THA BEST OF ALL OF THEM!.
