Effect::: Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.

Customer Reviews

My 11 year old daughter had been pestering me for months to read Hunger Games. Since most of her books are young adult magical fantasies I resisted. When I finally picked it up I couldn't put it down.

The marks of a good book in my mind are: does it make you think? Do the characters seem like real people? Would you read it again? Can you put it down to eat? The Hunger Games struck me hard on all of these points.

Katniss seems like a real heroine. She is a survivor, she's had to be. This has left her scarred and somewhat withdrawn emotionally. She doesn't really trust anyone but her sister Prim and her hunting partner Gale. At 16 she is still completely oblivious to romance but is sure that she will never get married nor have children that may be forced to participate in the games. Her education is lacking, which explains much of the grammar as the book is written completely in first person from her point of view. This book is as much a coming out story for Katniss as anything else.

I read all three at one go and I have a desire for more that won't be satisfied. Read Hunger Games, as unless you are unusual in your tastes you will love it, and I am 47.
