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, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, 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 will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

So, this is what all the fuss is about!
Every where i turned to ask for a book suggestion, The Hunger Games kept popping up, first on the list actually. Now i know why, and im finding myself telling everyone to read it. Because really, you need to stop reading this review and just go read it. And if you already have, read it again. Go go go!
Its hard to NOT fall in-love with the Katniss and Peeta. I mean, seriously, whats not to like about them. I only wish i had the ability and knowledge to snare a rabbit, and be completely badass about it.
No doubt about it, this book will have you tearing up one minute, laughing the next, and falling in love more and more with the story after each compelling page.
Its taking every bit of will power i can muster up not to go out and buy the next two. But christmas is coming and they are #1 on my list, believe me!
Oh, and March 23, 2011 So stinking excited for the MOVIE!!
