The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)

by Suzanne Collins

Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be North America. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When her sister is chosen by lottery, Katniss steps up to go in her place.

While this was my 13th time reading it, 'twas my first time reading it aloud, so that's something! And as always, I have discovered new little things about it. Plus, it was interesting to try to read it "as" Katniss, (even though Sammy hardly paid attention) because she is such my opposite. Good times!
