The book, the trilogy is all the rage now. My book club chose the first book Hunger Games as their read for this month. Anyone read it? I finished it recently. I enjoyed the book (it reminded of the movie the Running Man) but I am not in such a hurry to see what happens with the other books although I do plan to read them.
Its marketed at a "young adult" book but like Twilight it crossed over to a much wider audience.
<span style="font-style: italic">Twenty-four are forced to enter. Only the winner survives.
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.</span>
