This book is great! I couldn't put it down and went it bought the other two before I finished the first. I was disappointed with the movie though.

One of the best books ever written! To make things better, there are two more sequels. I loved the book so much that I even went out and got a Hunger Games tattoo before I knew there was a movie coming out.

The Hunger Games series is AMAZING!! I couldn't put it down it had me hook, line and sinker. Suzanne Collins is an amazing author. The characters just come to life in her writing. I have bought all of the books and have bought the first movie and can't wait for the other two to come out in movies. :)

I read the whole series of these books in less then a week just before the movie came out last spring! I highly recommend this book! I even lent my copy out and asked to have it returned when my friend was finished and for me that says a lot as I usually just give books away when I am done! I really enjoyed the character development and the whole idea behind the book! I think even my son would like to read tis when he is a bit older and I can see how it would appeal to boys & girls! My only complaint is that it was too short meaning that I really enjoyed it and wish there was more to read!

My niece was reading this book and I asked her about it. After she shared the basic story line I was hooked. This book, as well as the other two in the series, is a great read. Plan on a few sleepless nights as it is hard to put this book down. Enjoy.

I borrowed this book (and the series) from a friend, and had to go out and buy it after I read it.

I started to read it after 11pm and was done at 3am - I could not put it down. It's been a long time since a book has captivated me the way this one has. I would recommend it to anyone.

One thing - I thought it would be much more graphic and disturbing (given the concept of a game that includes kids killing each other) but I didn't find it disturbing at all - and would therefore recommend it to young teens as well.

I know this book has become wildly crazy because of the popularity of the movie, but I knew it from long before the movie this would become a global success. The first book really is the best of the series and its original premise, constant action, and compelling main and supporting characters keeps you on your seat from beginning to end. The book is really that much more exciting than the movie. The idea of showing what young adults would do when provoked to fight for their life is truly an amazing, eye opening lesson, learned from similar titles like Lord of the Flies and Battle Royale.

this wasn't my typical read. I picked it up one day because I had nothing else to read and was I ever blown away by it!!! I couldn't put the book down. It's an amazing read!

Honestly, don't judge this book by the movie. It's a solid book with an original plot line. Suzanne's writing is nice to read. A great book to take to the beach if you haven't already read it.

I admit I didn't cave into reading this book until I saw the movie trailer, but i'm so glad I read it! This is an amazing book, one that an assortment of people will enjoy. You will not want to put it down.
