The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Hunger Games was absolutely amazing! Panem, formerly the US with its Capitol and 12 districts probably is not far off from what a future civilization could be. The horror of the games and the oppresive lifestyles in the districts on contrast with the lavish Capitol is disdainful, yet intriguing. Chocked full of endearing characters: Katniss, Rue, Peeta and Haymitch. Looking forward to Catching Fire to hopefully see some more of Gale!
