The book no one can stop talking about . . . 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 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.

"Instant classic"

Jane Young

"Book 1 (Hunger Games)- Twelve factions once a year tributes fight for their life. Great series! "

Nicole Sinders

"Not great, but good. Didn’t read the whole series, and haven’t read it in a while"

Attense

"The dystopia world building is ACE! So tightly constructed it's difficult to pick apart. The characters feel real and flawed. The emotions are honest and confusing. A plus storytelling. "

"A classic at this point!! Such an interesting concept, anti-hero main character and side characters, and is chilling. The writing is so realistic is makes you feel like you’re there."

"I had to read a book for 8th Grade. And of course I chose The Hunger Games. I’ve heard about it before, didn’t know there was a movie about it either. I was a very slow reader though and couldn’t catch up to where other people would sometimes spoil it for me. I don’t really care about being spoiled though. To be honest. I don’t know how it ends. We had to turn in the book back before I finished it. (That’s how slow I was). I never got to know how it ended and I never searched it up. This book was cool and all, and I loved the relationship towards Peeta and whatever the main characters name was, my bad. It was fun to read, and now I’m thinking about watching the movie. Kinda scared of that one bee or wasp part though."
