A lot of books claim to be "pageturners", packed with suspense at every chapter. This book is the real deal.

From the first chapter, where Kat Everdeen stands up to take her little sister's place in the deadly, brutal Hunger Games, there is no shortage of suspense. Along with fellow representative Peeta, she must travel to the capital city, ready to be placed into the most extreme survival game ever played...all for the live entertainment of the public.

You just cannot stop reading as Kat navigates a forest of pitfalls, traps, and murderous teens her own age, whose only objective is to kill or be killed. Is alliance possible? Who is next to die? Is there any room for compassion in the Hunger Games?

A fast-paced and epic book with an awesome heroine, cliffhangers galore, and a climax that will have you literally holding your breath.
