http://www.goodreadingmagazine.com.au/comp.cfmEvery year in the ruins of what was once North America, the government of the nation of Panem forces each of its 12 districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games is a nationally televised event in which participants, known as tributes, must fight one another until one survivor remains. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to enter the games, and is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of a drunken former victor, Haymitch, when she’s pitted against highly trained tributes who have prepared for the Games their entire lives.
