The Hunger Games
I got The Hunger Games from the library yesterday, so that I could start reading it in the evening and have something to anticipate at work today. It's pretty good so far! The worldbuilding feels a little shaky (how big is District 12? How big is Panem? Why are the Games being presented explicitly as punishment and not as an exciting opportunity for community and personal betterment?) but that's probably a function of the narration style; I would be happy to take everything shown me for granted if it weren't being explained in frank YA first-person at the same time.
