Even if young adult books are not your cup of tea, you might like this one!

The book is set in a futuristic America, which has been divided into 13 districts. Each year, each district is required to send a girl and a by to The Hunger Games--a survival of the fittest game televised throughout the country. Katniss, a poacher from District 12, and Peeta, a baker's son, are thrust into the arena with only their wits to survive.

I don't want to give away any of the story, so I will stop there. Suffice it to say that I found the book entertaining, compelling, and readable. Not to bash Twilight, but I think this book is a far superior Young Adult book. There is something for everyone: adventure, suspense, and romance.

I am ordering the next in the series tomorrow. This book would make a great movie!
