The Hunger Games

So I recently finished reading a novel called "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins, and the book was AMAZING. There is non-stop action, with every turn of the page leaving you wanting more. I don't want to give away the story so here is a brief summary;
 
  "In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see.
Survival is second nature for sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who struggles to feed her mother and younger sister by secretly hunting and gathering beyond the fences of District 12. When Katniss steps in to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, she knows it may be her death sentence. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love. "
 
  Throughout the book you will be shocked, amazed, and utterly stunned by things that happen, leaving it near impossible to put it down. There is a rather large amount of violence in the book, so if your a little squeamish then this may not be for you lol. To those of you who do love your violence this ones for you, READ!! and look forward to the next 2 books in the short series.

   P.S. DO NOT visit the website, it completely gives away the books, thankfully i had a friend do it before me so I'm still looking forward to the surprises of book 2 and 3. :D
