About this product

Product Information

The first novel in the worldwide bestselling series by Suzanne Collins Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death. The Hunger Games have begun. . . . 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 regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place 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.

A Must-Read!
The story takes place in Post-Apocalyptic North America in what is now the country of Panem, consisting of 12 districts. Each year, two children between the ages of 12 and 18 are chosen to compete in the Hunger Games where there will only be one winner. When Prim, the 12-year-old sister of Katniss, is chosen to compete, Katniss, age 16, volunteers to take her sister's place and save her life. Katniss and Peeta are chosen from District 12 to compete with 22 other teenagers chosen from the remaining districts. Throughout the process of prepping for the Games, Katniss sees things about her government that she had never seen before, however this is derailed when Peeta announces his love for her on live television to everyone in Panem. Lines are crossed and many battles are fought in the playing field of the Games filled with traps, vicious animals, and the hatred of the other contestants. This novel offers a new plot unlike any that I have read before. It connects government conspiracy with the idea that love triumphs all with the importance of family, but isn't revolutionary, overly sappy, or too dramatic. This story could be compared to the TV show "Survivor". However, instead of simply being voted off the island, you are stabbed, shot or beheaded by another player. Thankfully, it was not overly gory. I did however find it heart-wrenching to read about the deaths of characters that I could relate to. It starts out with a quick pace and only gets faster and more intense the farther into the story you get. I found it extremely hard to put down, so be sure to set aside a good amount of time to get lost in the story. I found myself rooting for Katniss to survive the whole time. This novel does an excellent job of getting you to contemplate the "Me vs. Everyone Else" survival mentality that exists within all of us.Read full review

Amazing Imagination! It makes me feel as if I have already seen the movie!
My daughters reccomended this book trilogy to me and I hesitated for a long time, it just didn't sound like entertainment- a game of hunting other humans..well, I finally gave in and picked up a copy to get them off my back... This is one of the best books I've read in years! It grabs you attention right away and keeps you interested the whole way through. The author is very good at describing the scenes, but not overly detailing unimportant details. The whole idea of Hunger Games is a bit odd, but is easy to slip into the lives of Katniss and the other charachters. I love reading clean books but interesting subject matter and this is it! The main charachter, Katniss, becomes my hero in this first book. Her desire to do the right thing, and not wanting to be a disposable game piece in this game of life and death to "The Capitol". Can she out-smart the game? Can she survive? Can she win?! I couldn't put it down!Read full review

Read this book.
I finished this book in a day, it was fantastic! It had me hooked from the first chapter! It's about a girl in a sort of post-apocalyptic world, where one powerful capitol rules over twelve "districts", which are essentially small territories. And once a year the capitol demands two teenagers, called "tributes", from each district to compete in the Hunger Games. It's a heartwarming story, but also a very dark story. Every chapter is exciting, and every turn of the plot leaves you unable to stop reading. A fantastic book for anyone.

Surprisingly Great Read, Couldn't Put It Down.
I am a 34 year old male who usually reads books by James Patterson, Michael Connelly, John Grisham, etc. I found this on my bookshelf and thought I would give it a shot. I really didn't think I would enjoy it but I am always up for trying out new things and keeping an open mind. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this book. I thought it was geared towards a younger (teens/children) audience but found it to be a great read. Can't wait to read the next one in the series. I read this in the three sittings, which only happens with books I can't put down.
