In a post-apocalyptic world, North America is a new nation called Panem and society is split up into twelve districts. In remembrance of the disaster, and as a show of power, the Capitol holds an annual Hunger Games, a tournament where the sole victor is also the sole survivor. From each of the twelve districts, a boy and a girl between the ages of 12 and 18 must be selected by lottery to participate in the games. The games, like a futuristic reality show, are televised, and when play becomes slow, real dangers are scripted in.
Resources are scarce but Katniss Everdeen, a skilled archer, is the sole bread winner for her family. To protect her little sister Prim, she ends up volunteering for the games. The male candidate selected for her district is the bakers son, someone who years before had saved her from the brink of death. Her district hasnt had a winner in years.
With her familys survival in doubt, will Katniss command her emotions to become a stone hearted killer? Or will she find the sweet spot, a compromise between survival and morality? http://venusvignettes.com/vv-book-reviews/the-hunger-games/
