Wow, this book was amazing! I was pulled in from start to finish! I'm going to start on the next right away becuase I can't wait to know what's going to happen to Katniss Everdeen the main character in the story!
the ruins of what was once North America,is now the nation of Panem a capital city which is surrounded by, and harshly rules over 12 different districts. It is in district 12 where Katniss lives with her mother and sister. Fenced in their district they are forbidden to step outside of their district into the surrounding woods, and forbidden to make contact with other districts. Here people are starving, so Katniss and her best friend do all that they can to put some food on the table for their families, even breaking the law to do it, which is very dangerous.
As if all this is not bad enough there is something more to fear than starving to death. Every year the districts gather in their city squares for what is called the reaping. The reaping is when two names are drawn from each district, one boy and one girl, to fight in an arena til the death. Only one person can be victorious.
I feel like I have given away enough of the story already so I will leave it at that. This is an awesome book that you don't want to miss!
