The Hunger Games are set in the future, the main character is a 17 year old girl, the country is divided into districts and each district picks one girl and one boy to go to an arena and fight for survival. It's different from my usual read but so was The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and I thoroughly enjoyed that series and can't wait to see the movie. There is also a movie of The Hunger Games coming out some time next year I think.
