The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT. Wow. I finished this one in a day and completely neglected the rest of my world to finish it. It is a bit disturbing to me that a book about a game in which kids literally kill each other could be so riveting. That is my one concern with this book. I found myself rooting for the main character, Katniss, throughout and feeling a bit numb to the nature of the "Hunger Games" in which 24 kids ages 12-18 are placed in an arena and fit to the death.

Without a doubt this is a great book for book club discussions for boys and girls alike. I would love to participate in this book club! Some forewarning about the amount of death and gruesome nature of the Hunger Game itself.

I cannot wait to read book 2.
