The Hunger Games

I recently finished reading The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and cannot wait to read the rest of the series. The Hunger Games is about a sixteen-year-old girl, Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a futuristic society where two "tributes"-one boy and one girl- are chosen to represent their district and fight to the death on live TV. Unfortunately for Katniss and Peeta, her fellow District 12 Tribute, only one person is able to escape alive. To survive, Katniss must weigh survival against humanity and life against love. The Hunger Games was an amazing book--I couldn't put it down while reading it--and I highly suggest reading it before seeing the movie.
