There are not enough positive words in the English language to describe how much I love The Hunger Games. This series has done wonders to open the eyes of all who read it and it makes you think about the way that you live your life. This series also has an amazing story line with characters that you can't help but fall in love with. If you start reading this book, you will not be able to put it down until you finish.

The whole series was awesome. After I read the first book I couldn't stop. Thankfully, I got the whole series in a pack so I just kept reading. Anyone who doesnt know if they should read should. Its awesome. I have to admit, its a little gory at parts in the book, but that's what makes it The Hunger Games.

Although I worked for a major bookstore when this title was first released, I didn't pick it up until just a few months ago. While I can;t believe I missed out on such goodness for so long, it was handy to have all three books ready to read - no waiting for the next in the series! This is a fantastic series, and a very welcome change from the paranormal/vampire craze. Like most series, this one tends to start very strong - the second book is more ups and downs, and the third book is the same. All in all a great read, and one I recommend to anyone that will listen to my rants!

I didn't think I would like this book, but I picked it up any way based on the hype and was genuinely surprised. It feels a bit teen-romance at points so the story felt a tiny bit stunted when I wanted more, but it's a fantastic read and you'll breeze through it because you will not be able to put it down. I've been recommending this to everyone!

I read a tremendous amount of books, I love to read, these books are some of my favourites. They are easy to read and visualize! I love that in a book. Read them!! Don't wait!

I can honestly say that this is one of the top three books that I have ever read in my entire life (which by the way is the top 3 out of a loooooot of books). This book was picked up by me in the morning, and by early evening I had finished reading the entire book. I just couldn't stop reading!! It was like an addiction, I couldn't bring myself to take my eyes off the book for even a second, scared that I would miss some tiny crucial detail.

Every moment of the story was full of suspense, there was never a part you could predict. The main characters Katniss and Peeta were developed beautifully. A strong hearted female taking on the challenge of a fight to the death in place of her sister. It's about time we had a strong female lead in a story!

A must read, once you read it you will have to read the rest of the series.

I was unsure of these books when my roommate was explaining them to me. SciFi is not usually my thing. However I was quickly drawn in by the first few pages of book one and found that I could not put them down. I read all three books in a week and was very sad to see them end. The author takes the reader into a world so vivid that you feel like you are there with the main character. I had to know what happened next! The first movie comes out in March, I am very excited to see if the world I have created in my head will line up with the world they will portray in the movies. Get out and ready it, you will not be disappointed!

This series is one of my all time favourite because it has a lot of action in it. The characters are developed well and the storyline is amazing. I am so glad when I went into Chapters and stumbled upon this book and decided to read it I have no regrets at all.

I was going to start off by saying this book is my guilty pleasure - after all, it's from the "Young Adult" section. But having gobbled it down in just under 2 days (would have been less, but apparently I have to eat, sleep, work, and take care of my family), I'm willing to say it's just a Pleasure. No guilt about it.

I was very disappointed in Twilight, but I didn't have huge expectations going in anyway. This book has all the best parts of Twilight (a twist on the classic story, elements of darkness and beauty in the characters, etc), but has mega advantages:

1. You actually like these characters. The protagonist Katniss is a strong female lead - no simpering or frailty here. She's a character you root for, along with the rest of the cast. She has conflicting emotions, but it's written from the perspective of teenage angst and coming of age, whereas characters in Twilight were underdeveloped or just mono-dimensional.

2. there is gore, but just enough to make it tantalizing to older readers rather than gratuitous. Romantic subplots maneuver more subtly through the story instead of being the main driver; family relationships are better portrayed.

This book is a little bit Madeleine L'Engle, a little bit 1984, and just enough shmoopy teenage romance that it has this 30-something's heartrate up.

I read it initially to vett before allowing my daughter to read it. I promptly swallowed the whole series and she had to yank it out of my hands. I guess that part I do feel kinda guilty about.

If you liked the idea of Twilight but were let down by the series as a whole, try The Hunger Games trilogy. You will not be disappointed.
