The Best thing I've Read in a While

I went home Saturday morning to my parents house for lunch and was complaining to my Mom how I'm out of books to read. So she gave me this series of books called The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. Since she gave them to me .. I have not been able to put them down.

Here is a brief description of the book from wikipedia.. fyi it contains spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"

The Hunger Games takes place in an unidentified future time period after the destruction of North America, in a nation known as Panem. Panem consists of a wealthy Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts. District 12, where the book begins, is located in the coal-rich region that was formerly Appalachia.^[7]

As punishment for a previous rebellion against the Capitol, every year one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected at random and forced to participate in the Hunger Games, a televised event in which the participants, or "tributes", must fight to the death in a dangerous outdoor arena until only one remains. The story follows fatherless 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th Games in place of her younger sister, Primrose.

Seriously pick up these books.. you won't be disappointed!
