This book s et in the future tells the story of Katniss Everdeen and her struggle against the greedy and corrupted Capitol.

The country of Panem is made up of the Capitol and twelve surrounding districts. Control is kept through fear – every year the Capitol hosts The Hunger Games where two children (tributes) are chosen from each district to participate.

The rules are kill or be killed. In the battle of survival of the fittest, the tributes must kill each other until there is one tribute standing.

We follow Katniss's journey, in which she volunteers for her little sister to be a tribute, but finds that the opposing tribute from district twelve happens to be Peeta Mellark. He is a boy that she knows from her past.

As she fights through the games, she has to act out a romance between herself and Peeta to make sure she survives but finds that she has developed feelings for him. At the same time her hunting partner Gale from District 12 has been in Katniss' mind.

Katniss has to deal with her feelings while facing the threat the other tributes hold.

Will her decisions prove fatal? I don't want to spoil the story, so you'll have to read it for yourself.



  I give this book 5 stars because  I couldn't put it down! (Miss Panther)
