Novel Recomendation#1

Novel Recomendation: Hunger Games "I couldn't stop reading..." -Stephen King

The 'Hunger Games' is a teen novel by Suzanne Collins. The novel is in the point of view of Katniss Everdeen and is placed in the future. The story is very Gladiator and is all action with some romance and is not the typical 'hollywood' kind.
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.
WINNING WILL MAKE YOU FAMOUS. LOSING MEANS CERTAIN DEATH. (http://www.thehungergames.co.uk/about_the_book, 2010)
