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.

I loved the whole series and this book was fabulous from beginning to end. I love Katniss and she is a very strong heroine who took care of those around her.

The book starts a little slow but once things get interesting it is so good and by the end you just want to pick up the second book to see what happens next.
