published description: Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
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 is
forced to represent her district 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 weigh survival against humanity
and life against love.
Seen the movies but, never read the books. My son was assigned to read for class so we decided to read it with him. It was really good. And, maybe because saw the movie first but, seems like they did a really good job taking the book to the big screen. Enjoyed it very much, hope son did too so maybe we can keep reading the series together.
