I loved this book! Thank you Shari for the tip. I've already put the second book in the series on reserve at the library (Nook edition not available), and I'm looking forward to the movie.
Set somewhere in the future-former North America, Katniss Everdeen is a young lady from a poor district of Panem, and she winds up "playing" in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death between 24 young people that's televised across the country, and used as a way of making sure the citizens know who's boss. Yes, I know, sounds like a happy little book, doesn't it? Katniss is really likeable, and very believable, and this is just a really, really good story.
Okay, it's a young adult book, but so are the Harry Potter books. That doesn't mean it isn't thought-provoking and chilling, and it's a very deep book for young people. I'm not sure I would want my 12-year-old reading this... if she did, I would want to make sure I had read it first and we could discuss it.
