The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins


Another express read...this was by far one of the best books I've read in a long time.  Captivating.  Not at all what I was expecting, couldn't put it down, absolutely loved it.  I can't wait for the next one.  It isn't gory.  A lot happens....I don't know what to tell you about it!  There are 12 Districts and in each district a girl and a boy's name is drawn to participate in the hunger games; until there is one human left.  So they are forced to kill each other.  They are taken to an arena where the temperature is controlled and even their water sources, weather, etc. is controlled.  So basically they make it as miserable as possible, and if not much action is happening they force the participants together and hope for a good show with bloodshed.  Oh yeah, because they are TELEVISED.  They happen every year, it's a big event to remind everyone how powerless they are.  Anyway, highly recommend it to everyone!
