In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem with a harsh and cruel 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--thus the name of the book--which is a fight to the death ON LIVE TV!!! This amazing story is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen who lives, with her mother and younger sister, in the worst district--number twelve. When the Games choose her younger sister, she steps forward and regards it as a death sentence. Without really meaning to, she becomes a major contender and has to start making choices that weigh her survival against her humanity.
I really enjoyed this book and could NOT it down once I started it. I'm waiting impatiently for the sequel in September. I mean could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't see the next morning?
