Rank 37 of 100
The Hunger Games
Synopsis
In a future North America, the Capitol keeps the districts obedient by forcing their children to kill one another on television. Katniss Everdeen volunteers in place of her sister. Collins is interested in the camera as much as the arena: how a regime turns violence into a story people consent to watch.
