OK Seriously let's start on how I got interest in reading this book. I first knew about this in summer 2010 but I ignored it in the bookstore because the COVER IT IS PLAIN(no offense though but I learned to not judge a book by it's cover) I researched more about it and It has been recommended by Rick Riordan and Jon Scieska(two of my favorite male authors). So I read the plot summary:
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before -- and survival.
I was mildly(OK I lied A LOT) interested about  it by then I decided to read it in Ebook form(I have no cash and if it wasn't good whats to lose?). I was actually so absorbed in it I actually read the whole trilogy in 3 days.And Now I have the book form of it and planning to buy the other two(avoid radiation).Here is my Uber short review(actually the summary says it all but still):
Katniss volunteers for her sister.Katniss and Peeta becomes a contender.New rule is formed. When both about to win rule is somewhat altered.Both decide to commit suicide but rule is back and both of them win.The president is very angry at them for this act that causes the 2nd rebellion.
I have rated this book a 9.5 because of lack of detailing of some characters but still, IT IS AWESOME.It's a real page turner based on the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.I think I can post a review of the other books in this trilogy after I buy the book form of it.
