There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe the awesomeness that is Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games.” This book is quite simply epic.

The story is set in a future North America where citizens are punished each year through the Hunger Games for an uprising from long ago. The games works like this — each of the country’s 12 districts must offer up a girl and boy to fight to the death in an annual televised competition. That’s right — it’s kill or be killed, all for the amusement of the Capitol. “The Hunger Games” follows in the great tradition of “The Lord of the Flies,” “Brave New World” and “1984.” It is a survivalist narrative, a love story, a philosophy, a critique and an adventure tale.

You will not be able to put it down. It is the best book I read this year.
