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 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.
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.

it was a pretty good book i loved it.
I really want to read this book! I think I will read it once I finish the series that I am already on.
THIS WAS GOOD!!!! literally awesome if you ignore the katniss and peeta thing. it's a really good book 👍🏼. Idk what to say. but. it made me cry 🤪
I have heard that this book is really good. I really badly want to read it. Isn't there also a movie about it too? Obviously, I would read the book first though!
I think that it would be pretty harsh living in a world like this, but overall this was a good book so I give it 4 stars
I think it's supposed to be harsh.
It's a great book.
I is a great book with violence with makes it a action pact book 5 stars SLAY!
Really, Really good book. Really good dystopian like descriptions of the atmosphere and the world around Katniss and Peeta. I am the type of person who likes a lot of gore. I love the Halloween movie series and Friday the 13th and other slasher films. I felt really satisfied with the violence in this book. It sounds bad, and I promise I don't go around hurting any1 and I'm not a serial killer (istg) but it was a good amount of gore. Really good book, would definitely recommend.
I read this book a couple of months ago, and it was amazing. I was kept awake for several nights in a row, and I could not close the book. Suzanne Collins really generates constant action, and whenever you read something by her, it's hands down awesome!
