Review

A violent, jarring, speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense. . . . I couldn't stop reading. --Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly

I was so obsessed with this book. . . . The Hunger Games is amazing.

--Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight saga

Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced.

--John Green, The New York Times Book Review

第七十四届饥饿游戏即将开始。抽签日那天，凯特尼斯的人生彻底改变，她代替被抽中签的妹妹参加比赛，成为竞技场上的一名“贡品”。

竞技场是经过人工布置的森林、荒原。竞赛中，猎杀、追踪、饥饿、伪装、智斗等生死存亡的时刻，都被电视现场直播到全国，每个人都必须观看，而且要当成节日一样庆祝。对于凯匹特，这是年度盛会，是一场游戏；对于其他十二区，则是羞辱和折磨。24个“贡品”参加竞赛，只有一人能够存活。

在竞技场上，凯特尼斯机缘巧合被塑造成“燃烧的女孩”，与本区的另一个“贡品”皮塔组成“明星恋人”备受瞩目。她很困惑自己与皮塔的关系，她企图拯救其他竞赛者的生命，机智地应对游戏中出现的谜题，使她成了电视观众关注的中心。生死关头，她才发现爱情竟然也可以成为赢的策略。

凯特尼斯拒绝向游戏规则屈服，拒绝向死亡屈服，也拒绝向爱情屈服。她的拒绝会带来什么，未来又会怎样呢？

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games," a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed.
