This is not the type of book I would think I would like, it is about a future time period after the destruction of North America, in a nation known as Panem which consists of 12 districts and The Capital. All of the the districts are responsible for maintaining some part of the Capital's lavish lifestyle (food, coal, textiles, etc) and they are all in the Capitals complete control. In some of the districts the residents are literally starving to death. About 75 years ago the districts tried rebel against the capital and it resulted in the 13th district being destroyed and the 'Hunger Games" were created as a reminder to the districts not to get out of line ever again. During this event the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl aged 12 to 18 from each of 12 districts for a massive televised battle in which only one person can survive.
The story follows 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12, who volunteers for the 74th Games in place of her younger sister, Primrose. Also participating from District 12 is Peeta Mellark, a baker's son whom Katniss knows from school.
This is all I am going to say about the books because I don't want to to give anything away... but take my advise and read them! They are some of the easiest reads and had me glued to the book. The most time it took me to get through a book was 2 days.
