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 these books for the first time a couple summers ago and couldn't put them down. I have read them again since and they are still just as good. The characters are likeable and relatable. I have recommended this series to so many people and will probably end up reading them again at some point.

    I was hesitant to read these books at first. I am glad I did! I think it took me 2 weeks to read all 3. I couldn't put them down! I highly recommend reading them. Suzanne Collins is an amazing writer! I have added these to my book collection and will read them again and again. I even bought all the movies! However, I must say the books are better than the movies.

    awesome book, but really scary at the same time you can't stop reading. I have read the hunger games series over five times and I only discovered this last year.

    As someone who isn't into action or fantasy or adventure books, I have to say this series was not my all time favourite- but I have to hand it to Suzanne Collins, it was amazing.
    I received the whole box set and finished the 3 books in under two weeks. I couldn't put the books down. (Reminder, I HATE action/adventure/fantasy books!)
    Suzanne is a brilliant writer and it's very evident in her books. I highly recommend this book for all age groups. My seven year old brother enjoyed them, along with my 36 year old mother and 14 year old sister. Amazing series! 10/10

    I really loves this book. I've read all the series. The autor catch me from the begenning to the end. I prefer the book at the movies because in the movies they don't have all the caracteristic of the book so the book was verry good.

    I read the series at the library. To be honest I could not sit down to read the first book but the 2nd and 3rd was truly captivating! Everything made sense and happened the way it was supposed to happen but it didn't feel like a cliché, you got to know the characters and grow attached to them. Prue will forever rest in peace❤

    I absolutely loved reading the entire trilogy. The story sucked me in! I was so disappointed when it ended.
    It will be hard to find another collection that grabs my attention in the same way.

    I wasn't absolutely crazy about these books, but I think that they are a really fun read. Having a strong female protagonists was great for this book, but I found the later ones became more love triangle based, which, in my opinion, quickly got old. Also, I was very unimpressed with the last book. My advice? Read the first two, skip the last one.
