The Hunger games takes
place in a future United States, where war and natural disasters have destroyed
a huge portion of it. The city, Panem, is split into 12 districts, and the
Capitol, which rules over the districts. The Capitol hosts a televised, annual
event called the Hunger Games, which one boy and one girl from every district
are randomly chosen to compete in. The goal of the games is to survive, only
one person can win. Basically they put the competitors in an abandoned,
jungle-type area, where they have to find food and shelter for themselves,
while trying to kill, or completely avoid other players, last man standing
wins. 16-year-old Katniss's skill, wit, and determination are put to the
ultimate test when she voluntarily takes her 12-year-old little sister's place
in the Hunger Games. I love the book, it's a real page turner, with nonstop
action, and even a little romance plot, it keeps you thinking "I wonder
what happens next?!" The book is part of a trilogy, and leaves off on kind
of a cliffhanger, so be prepared to really want to read the next book the minute
you finish book 1.
