A book, with a movie coming out in March 2012.

It is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen who lives in the remains of the United States after years of drought, famine, and war. The government, (the Capitol,) is totally corrupt, and sends 24 children from 12 to 18 into a gruesome deathmatch. Katniss totally goes apeshit in the arena with Peeta, a baker's son, and I don't wanna give to much away.

If you haven't read the trilogy.. do it now.

The hunger games is set in the not-too-distant future, North America is divided into districts 1-12 and the Capitol. The twelve districts ar run by the capital and president snow, each year a boy and girl (aged 12 to 18) from each of the twelve districts are picked to fight in something called the hunger games. The hunger games is a tournament where the 24 children are put into an arena and have to fight each other to the death, the last remaining, "tribute" are they are called, is winner and get a parade, food, medicine, a house and other thing for his/her family.

The story revolves around a 16 year old girl named Katniss, the tributes and picked in a draw each year, each girl and boys name goes in for it, Katniss and her younger sister Prim are both in the draw, Prim's name is called and Katniss volunteers to take her place, also a boy name Peetas name is called and there are both in the tournament. It's a awesome book series that sadly some idiots think it's next Twilight. The Hunger Games is NOT like Twilight. First off Katniss is a strong and brave female character unlike Twilight's main character Bella. Second of all although the Hunger Games does have romance in it it's not all about that and is more focused on surviving the Hunger Games. And last but not least the plot in the book is actually good. So please do not say it's the next twilight.If any thing it's the next Harry Potter.

a.The first book of an epic series.
b.The name of the series.
c.A movie that is coming out March 23, 2012.

Possibly the most creative immigration policy in recent fiction.
Proven to lower immigration rates by 96% (23/24).

A book about a girl named Katniss Everdeen from the Capitol-controlled land of Panem. There are 12 districts, Katniss being from the poorest district District 12.
The first book was very good, as it involved children fighting to the death. The second book was also good, but not as, since there were less children in that Hunger Games. The third book ruined the series for me, I loved the first two books when the main conflict was battle and rebellion. The last book focused way too much on romance in my opinion.

1. The 'battle to the death' competition from the Hunger Games book trilogy by Suzanne Collins. The basic premiss is that all that is left of America is a wealthy 'Capitol' surrounded by the 12 'districts'. The Hunger Games see a male and female, teenage 'tribute' from each of the districts battle until only one survives.

2. The event itself as seen in the books and films. Also referred to as just 'the Games'.

3. Now also in use as a description for any fiercely competitive/violent event.
