The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Reviews

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.

    Love it! I am the type of person who gets bored easily, especially when reading books. These books kept me entertained and I was glued for hours. If you have watched the movie, give the books a go! The books are way better than the movies.

    This trilogy is absolutely enthralling. The characters are complex and the action is virtually non-stop. I was hooked in the first chapter and that doesn't happen often. They are far superior to the movies, as is usually the case.

    Trilogy was a must read. Captivated from the first novel through to the end. Didn't want to put it down. Nice to read a series with a strong female character.

    Well written series about a future society/societies with a very strong female lead. I thinik the entire series is good for tweens and up - there are no explicit or inappropriate words (but there are scenes of war - some sad stuff, but nothing horrifically graphic or disturbing). The main character must "play" a life-or-death game set up by the governing society in order to return to her sector (society) alive. She finds an ally in the game that is meant to have only one survivor.

    I've read the series several times. I'm happy to say that while the movies do (of course) miss a lot of the books' detail, they do at least stay true to the original story line (at least this far into the movies ... one more still to be released).
