The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Reviews
#1 in Books

Description

Publisher's Description:
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual 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 steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

    A must

    I read these books after enjoying the movies so much and I have to say the books are a million times better. Give them a read you won't be disappointed.

    Intense read

    I absolutely love this series soo much. I read all three books in highschool and I loved every minute of them. The movies were pretty good but reading them was on a different level! I still have my books and have kept them perfectly brand new. Such a great story line and so powerful, yet so sad at times. I can reread them all over and over again without getting bored

    Never again

    I would never read these books again. They really didn’t interest me at all. I would never recommend to anyone. I found them boring and took me forever to read

    Better than the films

    Read the books when the films came out just to see the difference. I think these books are better than the films. There are details in the books that aren't in the film. Highly recommend reading the books.

    its ok.

    It's a potentially exciting but gruesome story, but most of the characters were rather flat, much of the plot was predictable (it's not hugely original; in particular, it is VERY similar to the Japanese "Battle Royale"), and there were too many flaws in the plot.

    Love this series

    This series is great for dystopian YA readers. It take place when the ruins of North America form a new country called panem. Every year 24 children from ages 12 to 18 get chosen to fight to the death to remind everyone of the war also known as the "dark days". When katniss get chosen to compete she defies the capital and starts a rebellion.

    Better Than the Movies

    I was Reading the books long before the movie was ever released. I think these books are 100X better than the movies will ever be. There are details in these books storylines that aren't transferred to the movie! Definite must read!

    Timeless! Could read this series again and again

    These books have just the right amount of hook power to keep you up all night just to find out what happens next. I finished all 3 books in a week, they were so good! These are action packed with just the right amount of romance to spark an interest. I will definitely keep them on my book shelf forever to read every couple of years!

    Kept Me Reading

    I was so excited to read what all the hype was about for these books. I was not disappointed with all the action and well-written stories... until the end. I will not spoil it for you, the reader, but I will say the ending of the 3rd (and last) book was super anti-climactic.
