I absolutely LOVE this series! Out of the three books, I say that Mockingjay is the best, but the other two come close! Wonderful read.

Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
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 is forced to represent her district 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 weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Collins delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in this searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.

This book was ok. I don't really understand why everyone loves it. It was very boring and drawn out. It was very violent and unrealistic. I do not believe it would ever happen. If you go on to pbskids.org sesame street made fun of the Hunger Games and made a game called the Hungry Games. Cookie monster is trying to find the banana while wearing a Katniss wig. If you think about it, this book is ridiculously far-fetched. It is pretty much reading about adults watching kids kill each other.
OKAY, Great book! I read it in 2 days! Trust my you'll be adiccited!! Such a cliff hanger... A defint Must read.
I think you really liked this book because you read this book in 2 days
yeah. I finished it in one night. (stayed up all the night LOL)
A little strange you read each book in two days. Are both books similar? Cause you wrote the same review for each book.
luv it

This is the best book. But i do love the rest of the seirse. i totally recommend this or these books.
Really want to read this
amme too. I like violence in books so this is the right book for me. I think that it will be good also because people have to stay alive and win. Or else, you die. I really interested
gap and 18710 hunger is about what you said gap but it also has you gather resourses and food and wild things and weponds in this one big forest or where ever they play at but hunger games in real life is nothing to play with you only got 1 life ist not like a game or the game hunger games so watch out
I really wan't to read this book I wan't to compare it to the movie.Plus i just really like hunger games.
I'll admit, I'm not usually the 'dystopian teen-fiction' type, but Suzanne Collins blew us all away with The Hunger Games. (I'm SO glad it wasn't another: "OMG, we love our government and way of life! Oh wait, no we don't. Let's rebel!" You know the ones.) She spun an amazing tale of hate, hope, and love that left us all wanting more. Five stars.
