The Hunger Games (a good first review, seeing as it's the first book in my favorite series) is a captivating novel about a girl named Katniss Everdeen, who steps up to take the place of her younger sister Primrose in the vicious competition called the Hunger Games. Each year, 24 tributes fight to the death until one is crowned the victor. Through this novel of loss, struggle, and love, we come to love Katniss and root for her until the very end.
The book is set in an apocalyptic North America, which has now been divided into 13 districts and the capitol. While District 13 may have been obliterated in a series of uprisings, called "The Dark Days", that began the Hunger Games, it is still a big source of discussion.
As a big fan of the entire series, I can say that this is a fantastic book (objectively of course(: ) It's a great one to carry around, mostly because the vast majority of people have read it/have something to say about it. Go pick it up! (paperbacks cost $5.39 + s&h on Amazon.com!!) and I guarantee you won't regret it!
