Hunger Games

 The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Despite having technical difficulty with the sentence structure at certain points this book was very good with regards to plot and general character development. The story is set in a semi-futuristic dystopian society called Panem which is geographically North America. Katniss and Peeta are both teens from District 12 who are chosen from a lottery drawing (Katniss volunteers to save her younger sister) to play in the annual Hunger Games held by the Capitol to keep the Districts in check after their failed rebellion. The Hunger Games is essentially a reality TV show in which a boy and a girl from each of the Districts has to fight the other 23 teens to the death in a large landscape arena while the whole country is required to watch. The harshness of the society is well portrayed by Katniss' cold-hearted demeanor towards everyone except her younger sister and other young player in the Games. With a gripping plot and a genuine interest in Katniss, although she  is lacking in an appropriate emotional struggle when it comes to her pseudo love triangle (which is the only plot thread not resolved by the end of the book), the book reads very quickly and doesn't need any sequels.
