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.

Suzanne Collins has captured my heart with her sister love.
The mere fact that Katniss chooses to volunteer in place of her sister is what got my attention.
The story, though rather dull ambianced at times, was nail-biting from the minute Katniss landed herself at the actual games.
From the count down until the declared winner, you simply cannot …
Probably my favorite book ever. I love the characters and how in the end everything works out for at least for the lead 2 lead characters. Love this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like that the plot was interesting. The characters were good and progressed as the books progressed. Great read.
“The Hunger Games” is now my fave book! My mother said that I could finally read it, so I dove in a read. Soon, I had finished. Katniss is such a smart and strong character! Primrose is sweet and innocent. I loved, loved, loved, the names! They were so creative and fit each character perfectly! Peeta is a great character, and I loved Effie! All in …
Great book page turner
An absolutely amazing book. I had seen the movies before reading The Hunger Games, and I can safely say that the boo, in 100% better them the movie. I cant wait to start the next book.
Stop reading after the first book, the rest of the series sucks
Not my favorite series. Never been a fan of most dystopian books.
I only recently read the book, and I was so very impressed that I went on to read the trilogy.
Book 1. The Hunger Games
I saw the movie The Hunger Games once, a long time ago. A game until death. Forced participation of prisoners. The last one standing is the winner. The entire game is for entertainment. . The winning of the games is sort of an …
I think this book was a brilliant
I can see why Hunger Games resonated with young adults and adults alike. The chapters are short and sweet making it a fast paced thriller. The style of writing easy to follow with just the right amount of description. And the story itself is ingenious. It is one of those tales I wish I would’ve written. I look forward to finishing the trilogy.
Very well written. Fascinating World & the characters will really keep your attention. Everyone from teens to adults will like this series.
I’ve always loved action-packed fiction books but after I read this…OMG I was in love. Its so interesting and I couldn’t stop reading and if you were wondering I will ALWAYS be on team Peeta
This is the best dystopian novel I have ever read. I’ve read quite a few too. It’s not always pretty, but in order for it to say something and have a message it couldn’t be pretty. Yes, there are children fighting to the death for people’s entertainment in the story, but it’s not written to entertain the reader. It there to show how wrong and …
I think this book wonderful. It is entertaining, I like all the characters. I recommend this book and the rest of the series.
One of the best books I’ve ever read.
