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 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 regards it as a death … it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister’s place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to death before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Still, if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

there was an amazing plot and was written well
What a great read!
Really enjoyed book 1, finished book 2 but bored by book 3. Highly recommend book1 for its energy and voice of character
couldn’t put it down
The best of the Trilogy. Read it and No. 2 and skip the third one unless you are really hooked on the series.
Starting off the most recent popular dystopian fandom with things that readers love!
I love the way Suzanne tells a story. This series is a page-turner for real. I love the courage this book brings to life. It was nice to see someone stand up for themselves and WIN! I think the stories were very good. I would recommend.
This book changed my life. It’s a MUST read. There’s not much more to it than that.
LOVE this trilogy!! Read it several times. Great YA book for the genre. Sets the bar high!
Very well done (the whole series)
Girl on Fire!
Loved the characters, the story, the pacing. This story so sucked me in, it made me buy the whole series.
Loved this book! Couldn’t put it down before reaching for the next one!
I love that this was an original idea. A unique world/ society. the characters were built well. The books are sooooo much better than the movies.
It helps define heroism in a realistic way.
As usual the book is better than the movie…if you have watched it but haven’t read it I recommend reading it!!
This series is disturbing.
Great book
Totally engrossed me in the story of Katniss and her abilities, and her personal inner strength. This story was a ‘once you read the first chapter – you can’t put it down until you read it all’! Loooooooooonnnnnnnnnggggg evening reading it – and well worth it!
I absolutely love the Hunger Games trilogy. I cannot stress enough how much I love the books. I have the book set, the movie set, and for my birthday, I asked my husband for the Hunger Games trilogy for my nook – which he happily gave me. Now I can read them anytime I want. I have already read the books 3 times and saw the movies twice and am now getting ready to read the books on my nook which will make 4 times. The only other books I have read repeatedly are Little Women and Pride and Prejudice. To me the Hunger Games are just as much a classic as those books!! I love the beginning, the story, the people, and the ending. I feel like I personally know them all and feel like I am there with them throughout. It takes a fabulous writer to do that! I wish I could give it a million stars!!
