Blurb: Twenty- four are forced to enter. Only the winner survives.
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see.

Survival is second nature for sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who struggles to feed her mother and younger sister by secretly hunting and gathering beyond the fences of District 12. When Katniss steps in to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, she knows it may be her death sentence. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Comments: Okay, well, who hasn't read The Hunger Games by now? I mean it was the most talked about book in 2012. Either way, it definitely deserves a review from me!

Most books tend not to get interesting until page fifty, if not higher. The Hunger Games was amazing from start to finish. You were interested from page fifteen. I loved Katniss as a female heroin. She had her flaws (like all characters should) but they were flaws that you could accept and still see her as amazing. She impressed me and was perfect for the novel.

The book was creative. It was unlike books I've read before. It had an interesting plot that was unique and is sure to keep you on your toes. You fall in love with the characters and while reading you find yourself feeling several emotions. You want to pump your fist in the air when Katniss does something amazing and you find yourself wanting to cry when a tribute that you've taken a liking to has fallen.

Also, I found that the movie did a wonderful job of portraying the book as well. I was very impressed and from what I hear many fans were impressed as well. Overall, a wonderful read! I definitely recommend it.
