Helpful Score: 3
Futuristic/ Urban Fantasy by Suzanne Collins, and first of a trilogy. In this reality, the former United States, now Panem is divided up into 12 districts. As a reminder to all citizens of the horrors they've survived, each district must send a teen age boy and girl to the Hunger Games, every year. The 24 teens are prepared, and placed into an arena, to fight to the death. The whole thing is televised for the entertainment pleasure of the masses. The winner and the district they represent will be heavily rewarded. Our heroine, Katniss volunteers, when her beloved younger sister is named for the game. Katniss doesn't want to get close to her District Partner Peeta, knowing she may have to kill him. This is a great book, in an exciting, horrifying way. Like the other readers, I'm going to have to go out today and get the second and third books. I have to know what happens next. They didn't write books like this, when I was a teen.
