“In some unknown future time, the USA no longer exists. The Capitol rules the country of Panem, and requires a yearly tribute of one boy and one girl from each District to participate in the Hunger Games. This is the price of failing to win a revolt seventy-four years earlier: twenty-three teenagers will be killed, one will survive, but at what price?

This book is told from the perspective of Katniss, a sixteen-year-old girl from District 12 - the Appalachia mining area. Her life has already been difficult - her father died in a mine collapse when she was eleven, and her mother shut-down, leaving Katniss trying to feed the family. Now she finds herself fighting for her life.
The dystopian novel usually leaves you thinking about politics and what "could" happen, and this one is no different. The contrast between the districts and the Capitol, and even from district to district is severe, and the limitations on travel and information is terrifying. Because of the set-up for the sequel, I found the ending dissatisfying, but the scene at the end of the games is clever. I also liked the way that even as a teen, Katniss at least has thoughts about politics and the way things are, even when they lead her into trouble.”
“An insanely good book for readers of any age. Loved it”
