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.

    I read this book a few years ago and fell in love with the whole series.then this year they had the movie and I was so excited. But when I went to go see it I was a little bit disappointed. What I'm saying that is to either stick with the books and not watch the movie or not read the books and just watch the movies, that's what I think.

    I really liked this book even before I saw the movie. When the movie came out we had a girls night out for about 15 of us. Everyone enjoyed it.

    I loved this series. I found it entertaining and captivating, and the characters so intriguing. I'm not one to fall victim to hype, but I read this series last summer and just loved it. So entertaining and fun to read.

    I was definitely not the first one to jump on the bandwagon when it came to this book. I didn't care much for it's rave reviews, but one day decided to give it a go. I couldn't put it down! It was fantastic, thrilling, and really an enjoyable read. The story is so compelling and interesting that you can't help but fall in love with the characters and feel like you are a part of the story yourself!! I couldn't wait to get my hands on the next two books. So good!

    I teach 8th Grade and I read these books upon recommendation from at least 5 students. Boy am I glad that I did. I loved them! It is important for them to see me as a reader in the classroom too. Such a great insight into classism.

    These books are very well written. I was so happy that the series got made into a movie.
