My favorite book is "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. It's the first book in the "The Hunger Games" trilogy. The plot is very exciting. In a place known as Panem is a very rich City, named Capitol, surrounded by twelve Districts. Every year there is something known as The Hunger Games! This is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in The Hunger Games, a live event that is aired on TV's all over Panem. Children are obliged to fight and to kill each other. This year Katniss Everdeen takes her sister's place as tribute to save her sister from certain death. She promises to her sister that she will win!
Katniss will do anything to survive, even if she may have to go against her own moral standards. But when a fellow tribute reveals his affection for her and another begins to remind her of her sister, it becomes harder and harder to figure out how to survive without killing those closest to her.
The Hunger Games was the best book I read last year! It's really different from lots of the other stuff I read. On my opinion the book was much better than the film. A good book to sit down with on a horrible rain day.
