The Hunger Games by: Suzanne Collins

            This book is the first of The Hunger Games series. 74 years ago, there was a revolution started by all the destricts. The Capitol put down the revolution and to make sure there wouldn't be another one, they bombed District 13 until there was nothing left. Now every year the Capitol has the leftover districts put up 2 tributes, one boy and one girl, to fight to the death in an event called The Hunger Games. A girl named Katniss Everdeen lives in District 12 which is a very poor district where people usually starve to death and their one material they are forced to make for the Capitol is coal. Throughout her life, Katniss had to fight for her family's survival ever since she lost her dad in a mining accident. When her little 12 year old sister is chosen to be the tribute for the games, she volunteers and takes her place. Now she has to participate in these gruesome games against 23 other tributes trying to keep herself alive from starvation, dehydration, and from being killed.
             I believed this had to be one of the best books ever published. Once i started reading it I had to force myself to put it down. I strongly recommending this book to everyone. The other two books of the series are Catching Fire and Mockingjay which are both really good books themselves. I've read all three books and loved them. They are currently casting to make the movie and is planned to be ready next year.
