The book is a futuristic story of how a country rose from the ashes of the continent North America called Panem. Natural disasters swallowed up much of the land. A brutal war for what little sustenance remained. The result was Panem, as having Capitol ringed by 13 districts which brought peace and prosperity to its people. Then came the Dark Days, the uprising against the Capitol. Twelve were defeated while the thirteenth was obliterated. The Treaty of Treason gave them the new laws of peace so that the Dark Days were never were repeated. Thus, were born the Hunger Games.
One girl and one boy ages twelve to eighteen are chosen every year from every district to fight to the death where only one makes it out alive. The book is the story of the 74th Hunger Games.
A hit movie this year made this a choice to read. A definite page turner. An awesome book. This is the first book of a trilogy by the author. I cannot wait to read the other two.
