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.Product Identifiers

Great stories. Terrible grammar.
I read the first editions, and I have to ask: we’re these books not proofed and edited? Not only is her writing style boring, and repetitive; but her overuse of commas, and inability to come up with synonyms for “said” makes her great stories less effective. There’s, no, need, for, ten, commas, per, sentence.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
