Description

Publisher's Description:
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.

    Well written series about a future society/societies with a very strong female lead. I thinik the entire series is good for tweens and up - there are no explicit or inappropriate words (but there are scenes of war - some sad stuff, but nothing horrifically graphic or disturbing). The main character must "play" a life-or-death game set up by the governing society in order to return to her sector (society) alive. She finds an ally in the game that is meant to have only one survivor.

    I've read the series several times. I'm happy to say that while the movies do (of course) miss a lot of the books' detail, they do at least stay true to the original story line (at least this far into the movies ... one more still to be released).

    I loved this series, after Harry Potter, I needed something else to read and gave this a chance since I really enjoyed the first movie. Really glad I did. It's interesting and I love reading this from Katniss' point of view, whereas in the movie, it's a broader point of view.

    I started reading the books very recently after watching the first movie. I think the books are way better then the movies. So definitely pick up the book, if you want some light reading.
