The Hunger Games is a shocking novel that I could not put down. Katniss Everdeen is a sixteen-year-old living in the distant future. The United States has fallen and now consists of twelve districts ruled by the overbearing Capitol. Every year, one boy and one girl from each district are chosen to fight to the death in the televised Hunger Games. The winner's reward is a life of ease, free of poverty. For Katniss, volunteering to take her sister's place in the Games means leaving Gale, the only boy she might have loved, attempting to kill Peeta, whom she has befriended and has publicly announced his love for her, and accepting her own possible demise. The Hunger Games force Katniss to fight desperately for her life while the odds are against her, and each day she survives brings more unexpected twists, until she can no longer tell the difference between desperation and hope.
