The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins
    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 twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
      Sixteen-year old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister, Prim's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to death before-and survival, for her is a second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is too win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and live against love.

My review:
I absolutely loved this book. It is a total page turner. I read it in four days my eyes glued to the pages. This action packed love story is amazing! I recommend The Hunger Games to anyone who wants a good book.
