The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games is such a great read and it is science fiction, survival, violence, but so much more! Peeta and Katniss Everdeen are chosen to represent District 12 --- they must fight to the death with all the other participants of the other 11 districts in Panem (used to be Earth). Peeta has always been in love with Katniss but the powers that be have them act like star crossed lovers and the audience who watches by TV the whole time, JUST LOVE IT!!! The story involves psychological suspense and torture-- you root for them especially when the deaths of others, like Rue and Thresh, are so horrific. Collins' attention to detail and her portrayal of Katniss as tortured in love and life is total agonizing suspense. I can't wait for the next installment!
