Katniss Everdeen is a young teenage girl who is faced with many challenges and obstacles in her life. When she was just a young girl her dad died and Katniss felt like she was the one who needed to provide food for her family. Ever since Katniss can remember she is always in the woods with her best friend Gayle as they hunt for everyday survival. When it comes to katniss's mother and her little sister she will risk anything.

As the days go by each member in the capitol count the days until two lucky people from each district will be chosen to participate in the annual "Hunger Games." As they all file into the town square, they all tremble inside with fear that they might be chosen. One by one the names are called out, finally it's district 12's turn. One boy and one girl. Primrose Everdeen. Katniss is faced with a life threatening decision. She steps in as tribute to take the place of her little sister. Can she take on the challenge of the Hunger Games, or will she have to leave her family behind?

Suzanne Collins has such a creative way to her writing. She makes me feel like I am literally doing all the same things the actors are doing. She makes me feel like I am one of the characters. She has such a good way of drawing you into a book and then you never want to come out. You want to keep reading and you don't want to stop.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is into a good thrilling read and is fine with never wanting to put the book down.

I had a friend recommend this book to me, I was a little unsure about reading it. I had heard great comments about the book but wasn't sure if I wanted to read it. Now that I have read the book I highly recommend reading it!
