I love this book. As an 8th grade teacher I try to read a lot of teen books so I can recommend them to my students. Many years ago (after the first book was published), our librarian recommended to me. She tried describing it to me and I wasn't so sure. I wasn't into books with a lot of killing. I reluctantly took it and started reading. I was hooked instantly. One day later I returned it and have been a Hunger Games fan ever since. I remember trying to describe it to my husband and telling him he had to read it. He had the same initial reaction that I had but once he finally gave in and read it he's hooked too. I recommend this book to all my students, and adults too!

This is a great book, if you haven't read it yet, I suggest you go out and read it now. One of my friends had read the books and told me it was amazing and I should read it so when I was going on a trip I picked it up and starting reading. I couldn't put it down, I read all 3 books in 3 days while working 8 hours for two days! After I had read it, my boyfriend decided to read and he enjoyed it as well so he's now on the second book! Great book!

For those of you who haven't read the book or seen the movie, I don't want to spoil it, however I can tell you to go out and buy it right now! Knowing how much I enjoy reading, my friends consistently told me to read this book, and when i finally got around to seeing what all the hype was about, I couldn't put it down. Needless to say a day and a half later I was already out buying book two i the series.

This book has the perfect amount of fantasy, romance, mystery, passion, action, etc. No matter what genre of books you enjoy reading I can guarantee you will not be able to put this book down. The author, Suzanne Collins, is able to depict everything in such a manor that you can imagine every sentence in your head, every scene, every action.

I promise no matter what you will enjoy this book! Don't want to spend the money? Ask a friend to borrow it, or split the cost and take turns reading it, although I can guarantee you will want your own copy.

Needless to say, get the book. You will not regret it.

This was an amazing book that I could not put down. I finished it in 2 days, and immediately wanted to read book 2. It's a YA novel that definitely isn't a teenybopper book. It's about hard choices and things that no one should ever have to live through. I've recommended it to all of my friends, and have a copy to keep for my daughter when she's old enough, if she's into that type of reading.

There's very little romance, and it's very graphic but you fall in love with the characters and their struggles and you're just hoping for the best but you know someone is going to get hurt. It really makes you think how you would survive in their world.

I loved this book! I usually get easily distracted when reading a book and can't get into the story long enough to finish it. But this book held my attention! I didn't want to put it down! Very well written with lots of suspense and plot twists to make you want to read on! I can't wait to start the next book in the series!

There are not enough positive words in the English language to describe how much I love The Hunger Games. This series has done wonders to open the eyes of all who read it and it makes you think about the way that you live your life. This series also has an amazing story line with characters that you can't help but fall in love with. If you start reading this book, you will not be able to put it down until you finish.

Although I worked for a major bookstore when this title was first released, I didn't pick it up until just a few months ago. While I can;t believe I missed out on such goodness for so long, it was handy to have all three books ready to read - no waiting for the next in the series! This is a fantastic series, and a very welcome change from the paranormal/vampire craze. Like most series, this one tends to start very strong - the second book is more ups and downs, and the third book is the same. All in all a great read, and one I recommend to anyone that will listen to my rants!

I didn't think I would like this book, but I picked it up any way based on the hype and was genuinely surprised. It feels a bit teen-romance at points so the story felt a tiny bit stunted when I wanted more, but it's a fantastic read and you'll breeze through it because you will not be able to put it down. I've been recommending this to everyone!

I read a tremendous amount of books, I love to read, these books are some of my favourites. They are easy to read and visualize! I love that in a book. Read them!! Don't wait!

I can honestly say that this is one of the top three books that I have ever read in my entire life (which by the way is the top 3 out of a loooooot of books). This book was picked up by me in the morning, and by early evening I had finished reading the entire book. I just couldn't stop reading!! It was like an addiction, I couldn't bring myself to take my eyes off the book for even a second, scared that I would miss some tiny crucial detail.

Every moment of the story was full of suspense, there was never a part you could predict. The main characters Katniss and Peeta were developed beautifully. A strong hearted female taking on the challenge of a fight to the death in place of her sister. It's about time we had a strong female lead in a story!
