The country of Panema is ruled by a city called the Capitol. At some point in the past the rest of the country rebelled against the Capitol and lost. As part retribution the various districts comprising the country have to select two random people called tributes to go the Capitol and and fight to the death in a televised series of games. There are eight districts, so 16 tributes.<\/p>\n<p>Katniss is one of the tributes and the book follows her as he fights in the games. I&#8217;m not going to give the book away just to tell you that the book is very compelling and a very good read. The only problem is, and it is not really a problem, is that I can&#8217;t wait to read the other two books.<\/p>\n<p>This book is four stars out of five.
