The Hunger Games take place in the future. There are twelve districts in the country of Panem. Each year, two kids from each district are chosen in a lottery to participate in the Games. They are sent to the Capitol, put into an arena (that could include a forest or desert, etc.), and the last one standing wins. Yep, they have to kill each other, and it's televised. The whole country is watching.
I had last Monday off from work and I spent the day reading and finishing this book. It's the first in a trilogy and I'm on the waiting list for book #2. I really liked this book, much more than I thought I might. It was clever and reminded me of Survivor. One of my first recommendations to you in 2011.
Ps: Thanks for the recommendation, Grace!
