The Hunger Games

America is not 'America: The home of the free' any more, instead is it a place called Panem. Panem is split into thirteen districts, tho the thirteenth is nothing but ruin after the toxic bombs were thrown down on it. Ever since that day, 74 years ago, there has been The Hunger Games. From every District one boy and one girl are taken to the Capitol, there they are waited-on by servants and are dressed in fine clothes and eat amazing food. But as grate as that may seem, to Katniss Everdeen this is torturous because she knows what this path leads to... Death. She and the other twenty-three 'Tributes' will be put in an arena and be forced to fight to the death, while the whole of Pamen watches it on TV. Only one can be left standing in the end. But Katniss doesn't much like the Capitol, so maybe there is a way for her to stick-it to the authorities ? Can she possibly make a change in a government that holds these games to show their people that ' See? We can take away your children, make them kill each other, and you can't do anything about it.' So, can she save the people of Panem? Can she?

This is a riveting book that has a way of showing you both sides of the line. Suzanne Collins has a natural gift that keeps on giving. She has strong characters, a way with her words and the ability to make to emotions, visions, and every detail leap off every page. This book is one of survival, loss, love, pain, and joy. I would recommend this book to readers who like action, romance, and rebellious novels.
P.S: I can't wait for the next book!!
