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.

    SUPER hyped up but a very enjoyable easy read! The other two books in the series are not nearly as riveting, but still an enjoyable teenage dystopian novel.

    When the Hunger Games movie came out I finally decided it was time to borrow this book from my sister and read it. Everyone was talking about it and I decided it was about time to get in on the conversation.

    First off, the story line and characters hooked me from the start. I was obesessed with what was going on with them and could not put this book down. This is also one of those odd times when both the book and the movie are extremely well done. Loved this series!

    I could not put this book down. When I first heard about it I thought this book was for children but once I started reading it I was addicted. I read this book in 2 days and had to read the next. The story is great but the writing of the book could be a little stronger. Overall this book is a great read.

    I loved these books! The first book was by far the best, I find this the case in most book series though. It was an easy read, great to just sit down and relax with! I read them really quickly (which is a must in my busy life!) I think all age groups can enjoy this series as well. My mom-in-law loved it and so did my nieces!

    Amazing read! I couldn't put it down! Not the richest vocabulary but the words are woven together in a way that paints such a vivid picture, it really pulls you into the story and makes you invest in the characters. Read it, you won't regret it!

    I could not put this book down and I did not know it was part of a trilogy at first. I got mad when I was done with the first one and did not have the second one. I am now on the second book and am loving it. It is well written and keeps you pulled into the story. I recommend it for every age group. It is a great read.

    I didn't read it until the movie came out. It was a great book! I would recommend it for young and old. It was one of those "can't out down" books!
