The Hunger Games--a New York Times bestseller and major motion picture--is now available in a gorgeous deluxe foil edition. 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 regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place 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.

One of my favorite books! Full of surprises that you won't see coming. You feel as if your experiencing and feeling everything Katniss is. You can relate to some of the characters. When I finished it, I instantly went and started the second book, Catching Fire. I can see why it became a best-seller. I highly recommend it. Even the reluctant readers will love this book.

read the book and loved it.
As so many others, I found the book to be very entertaining and a fast read. It's an interesting look into a possible future and into multiple characters' natures and personalities. There is the right amount of action and thought provocation.

Read the book
The book was in good condition. The story line was not hard to follow and was interesting throughout. I do not know if I will read the sequel, but probably will.

Your eyes will be glued to the pages
Suzanne Collins wrote a fantastic book filled with action, adventure, and a little romance (the perfect teenage appeal!) I could not stop reading it, and I'm looking forward to reading the next two books. A wonderful read.

The Best Book
I have never gotten chills while reading a book, until I read the Hunger Games series. I fell in love with the characters and could not put the book down. The story line is genius and always left me wanting more.
