The Hunger Games. Sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen
volunteers in her younger sister's place to enter the games, and is
forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of
drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy when she's pitted against
highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these
Games their entire lives. If she's ever to return home to District 12,
Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival
against humanity and life against love.
saw the highly-hyped Hunger Games today after lunch for irene's birthday. i've read the plot synopsis which sounds like a toned-down version of the Japanese Battle Royale, which is one of my favorite movies.
