What do readers think of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins? Write your own review.

I read all three from the Hunger Game Trilogy. It was a fast read and I learned to love the characters. Don't want to spoil it, but I loved "the boy with the bread." She writes in a way that pulls you in the story and allows you to feel as if you are there, in the story.

This book is AMAZING! I love all three books, and I recommended the series to all my friends, (and my grandmother), because this book is great! The only downside is that if you don't have all three in the series, and you finish a book, you will immediately want the next book. You might not sleep until you get your hands on it. Just kidding, enjoy the books. :)

'The Hunger Games' takes war to a whole new level. Twenty-four contenders and only one survivor. What are the odds that they will just have a talk during tea?

That's what made the book so full of life and action.

Another thing is the first person writing. In most books, the reader is aware about the plots, conspiracies, etc etc that the main character doesn't know about. But in 'The Hunger Games', we
are just as clueless as Katniss Everdeen. This adds to the suspense factor.

The story was also so fresh and original. It was irresistible, and made me stay up all night just so I can finish it. No worries though, for ' …more The Hunger Games', I have all the time in the world (less)

The “Hunger Games,” written by Suzanne Collins, takes place in the future where North America has been destroyed and all that’s left is 12 districts and Capitol. Capitol keeps everyone under control by forbidding anyone to leave their district. The districts spend their lives working to provide for the oppressive Capitol, leaving little resources for themselves.

Capitol holds the Hunger Games every year, reminding the 12 districts of their power. One boy and one girl from each district are sent to an arena to fight to the death. “Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death” (Collins).
Katnis, the …more main character, is not worried about the Hunger Games, but concerned for her family. As the provider for her family, if Katnis was called for the Hunger Games, her family would starve. However when Katnis’s sister, Prim, is chosen for the Hunger Games, Katnis volunteers to take her place.

I couldn’t bring myself to put the book down. As the Hunger Games begin, the book turns to a dark side showing the death of many teenagers. It made it hard to keep reading because of the eerie feeling of teenagers fighting to the death. As we read on we see Katnis and Peeta, the boy from district 12, begin to fall in love. This gave me the hope to read on. As Katnis and Peeta began to defy The Capitol it opened the book up to a possibility of multiple endings. (less)

Great book!
Hunger Games takes place in a post-apocalyptic United States. Written in first person with Katniss, the hero, as the narrator. Her choice of words helped create a vivid image that showed what she saw and felt.
A well-written science fiction novel that kept this science fiction enthusiast busy. I even exercised to it at the gym with my iPod. Your overdrive System helped made my first audio book experience great! At times I could forget I was listening to the book and felt immersed in the action. Well done!

The Hunger Games takes place in a post-apocalyptic United States of America, now called Panem. It consists of thirteen districts, one of which has been destroyed by the Capitol for rebellion. To commemorate the victory of the Capitol over the districts that tried to escape from their totalitarian control early in the nation’s history, Panem has an event that takes place every year called the Hunger Games. Twenty-four competitors, one boy and one girl from each district, ages twelve to eighteen, are chosen from a raffle to participate for the “honor” of representing their district in an arena bloodbath where “ …more Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death.” The government takes pleasure in watching others suffer and die, and they broadcast this brutal competition on television as a sport.
Although The Hunger Games is an excellent read, one flaw of this book is the confusing writing. For the first few chapters, I was not sure if Katniss’ friend, Gale, was a girl or a boy. And throughout the book, there are a few typos. The writing could be improved a bit.
I do not admire the author particularly for her writing, but for her story telling skills, which are outstanding. The Hunger Games is one of the best stories I have ever read. With a hint of romance, tons of action and a story line so intense, it left me incapable of putting the book down. (I found myself staying up until 4 a.m. every night to finish this book!) And that is saying quite a bit coming from a busy college student who puts great value in sleeping and has not read a book of his own free will in more than two years. (less)

Whoa!

The Hunger Games was a very well-written science fiction novel written in first person with Katniss as the narrator. The choice of words helped create a vivid image that showed everything Katniss saw, and described her thoughts well.

In general, it is an amazing adventure of a book. It is so difficult to put down! It is a great read for any teenager or young adult who likes a science fiction novel that grabs you from the start.
