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.

    Love this series. Read them all multiple times, my boyfriend never reads and he read these books in less then a week! Now that was impressive.

    I love this series. I read it when it first came out, way before the movies. But I do love the movies too. This is a great dystopian work and I fell in love with these characters. Although i am Team Gayle all the way!

    I absolutely loved this series. As an avid reader, it is amazing when a book grabs you from the very beginning and keeps you hooked the entire time. Loved the plot, and the characters.

    I have been a huge reader since I was about 7 or 8. I read anything and everything. I also read a lot of young adult fiction. I get a lot of flack for it, but honestly, I feel like YA is where all the innovative and creative stories are coming from nowadays. I also love an entertaining, easy read sometimes. I devoured the Hunger Games series so quickly. I didn't put down any of the trilogy until they were finished. I also got my boyfriend to read them. And he A) isn't a huge reader, although he does read here and there and B) hates anything with a romantic storyline and YA. He ACTUALLY enjoyed them. Although he hated Peeta, haha. They were the original dystopian YA in my mind, and then EVERY YA author jumped on the bandwagon, which is annoying. I loved the novels, they were passionate, fun, tense reads, with well written characters and excellent world building. I wish the movies weren't absolutely horrible. I feel like the movies have turned the series into Twilight for people who haven't read the novels.

    I have to admit, I'm a sucker for romantic novels and don't often read books, yet alone series like the Hunger Games. However, I love this trilogy so much! I was so into the book and couldn't put it down for days. I think my favourite book has to be the second one as I hadn't watched the movie beforehand (like I did with the first one) and so I was so captivated wondering what would happen next :)

    A great series. Made for young adults, but still resonated in all of the generations of my family who read it. Really makes you think about the "what ifs" of the future and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I'm glad that this series was chosen to be translated to the big screen.
