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 am not a big reader but when a book can grab my attention within a few pages and draw me in I don't want to put it down. Hunger Games did this for my instantly and I couldn't walk away from it. The author Suzanne Collins had me feeling for each of the characters as if I was part of the games myself. I can not wait to head out and get the next book in the series, Suzanne Collins definitely drawn me in for more.

    I loved this book (and the other 2). It is a very easy read and kept me reading until it was done. I also love how males and females can enjoy the book because it isn't just a love story. I was skeptical at first, but so glad I read it!

    I love this book. As an 8th grade teacher I try to read a lot of teen books so I can recommend them to my students. Many years ago (after the first book was published), our librarian recommended to me. She tried describing it to me and I wasn't so sure. I wasn't into books with a lot of killing. I reluctantly took it and started reading. I was hooked instantly. One day later I returned it and have been a Hunger Games fan ever since. I remember trying to describe it to my husband and telling him he had to read it. He had the same initial reaction that I had but once he finally gave in and read it he's hooked too. I recommend this book to all my students, and adults too!

    This is a great book, if you haven't read it yet, I suggest you go out and read it now. One of my friends had read the books and told me it was amazing and I should read it so when I was going on a trip I picked it up and starting reading. I couldn't put it down, I read all 3 books in 3 days while working 8 hours for two days! After I had read it, my boyfriend decided to read and he enjoyed it as well so he's now on the second book! Great book!

    For those of you who haven't read the book or seen the movie, I don't want to spoil it, however I can tell you to go out and buy it right now! Knowing how much I enjoy reading, my friends consistently told me to read this book, and when i finally got around to seeing what all the hype was about, I couldn't put it down. Needless to say a day and a half later I was already out buying book two i the series.

    This book has the perfect amount of fantasy, romance, mystery, passion, action, etc. No matter what genre of books you enjoy reading I can guarantee you will not be able to put this book down. The author, Suzanne Collins, is able to depict everything in such a manor that you can imagine every sentence in your head, every scene, every action.

    I promise no matter what you will enjoy this book! Don't want to spend the money? Ask a friend to borrow it, or split the cost and take turns reading it, although I can guarantee you will want your own copy.

    Needless to say, get the book. You will not regret it.

    This was an amazing book that I could not put down. I finished it in 2 days, and immediately wanted to read book 2. It's a YA novel that definitely isn't a teenybopper book. It's about hard choices and things that no one should ever have to live through. I've recommended it to all of my friends, and have a copy to keep for my daughter when she's old enough, if she's into that type of reading.

    There's very little romance, and it's very graphic but you fall in love with the characters and their struggles and you're just hoping for the best but you know someone is going to get hurt. It really makes you think how you would survive in their world.

    I loved this book! I usually get easily distracted when reading a book and can't get into the story long enough to finish it. But this book held my attention! I didn't want to put it down! Very well written with lots of suspense and plot twists to make you want to read on! I can't wait to start the next book in the series!
