Hunger Games- Book #1

Well, I started the Hunger Games Saturday Night and finished it early this afternoon. (Yes, I did other things in between). If you are a teen or adult looking for a suspenseful story with lots of twists and turns check it out. The writer Suzanne Collins is a great writer and story teller! When I was not reading I was longing to get back to the story. It was definitely one of those books I could not put down!! I cannot wait to get my hands on the second book!


Here's the premise from the back of the book:
"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" (cont'd)
