great book my favorite charactor is Cato but he dies...the saddest part in the book is when Rue a little girl from district 11 dies. Marvel a guy from district 1 throws a spear into her chest.After Marvel kills Rue the main charactor Katniss fires an arrow and it hits Marvels neck and he dies. Rue is in pain because the spear is in her chest so Rue's last wish was for Katniss to sing to her.Katniss sings her a sad song and in the middle of the song Rue dies and then Katniss puts flowers in her hair. that is the saddest part in the book.

Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

This is a great book, this book is book one in the triology but it is not my favorite in the series book 2 is the best! Anyway it is about how Katniss takes her sister's place in the Hunger Games for she fears of her sister getting killed. Her competitors are Peeta.... Peeta is a boy who gave her food many years back when no one else did when she was hungry...
