"Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. But Katniss has been close to death before - and survival, for her, is second nature. The Hunger Games is a searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present. Welcome to the deadliest reality TV show ever."
The Hunger Games was by far the best book I have ever read. It was un-put-downable, and it hooked you right in to Katniss Everdeen's background of her life almost instantly. The characters were great, the Arena was amazing, and the description was so lifelike, you felt like you were there!
I give this book a no-hesitation 10/10 because I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!
I would recommend this book to 12-year-olds and up, just because it has a lot of violence in it, but all in all it's a really awesome book :).
