It starts out with the main character sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, hunting for food for her family with her friend Gale (Which is illegal there, they are not allowed to hunt because in the society she lives in,the Capital wants to control there rations and does not care how many people die) Anyways, there world holds a hunger games once a year, they choose two contestants(Tributes) from each district (There are 12) a boy and a girl, by pulling names out of a ball at random. The two must go to the hunger games which is an arena controlled by the capital, they must fight to the death with other tributes until only one is the last one to stand. The whole game is broadcast to the twelve districts as a TV show. And as you can probably guess Katniss is taken to the hunger games and must face one of her friends and 22 others.
I'll tell you I did not think I would like the book because it sounded kind of lame like a survival show, but once I got into it, I couldn't put it down! I gave the book five stars, I recommend it to anyone because it has something in it for everyone.
