Read or die.
This amazing book trilogy can't be missed. The characters are real, the world beautifully crafted. So wonderful even adults can't put them down. It's a moving story that can catch anyone's eye, full of plot twists that have been perfectly placed, and little details that make the world come to life.

I COULD NOT PUT THESE BOOKS DOWN!!!
This trilogy is the best thing to hit bookshelves in a long time. I read "The Hunger Games" in one sitting, and then reread it immediately, it was that good. And before "Catching Fire" came out, I read it again. And before "Mockingjay" came out, I read the first two again. I COULD NOT STOP READING THESE! (clearly!) This is definitely a must read. I felt pain and joy and sorrow and confusion along with Katniss and all of the other characters. I cried at the happy and sad times (mostly at the sad). I cried when I finished "Mockingjay" because I knew it was the end. The story told throughout these three books is so moving and intriguing and un-put-downable. I've read moving books before, but I couldn't believe a story could make me feel this much. And it wasn't just the plotline; the characters, the problems, the "supporting" characters, things people said, all of it was amazing. And a lot of the moral values in this book can be applied to our lives today. It's a warning for things that could happen in the future if power falls into the wrong hands. Some of the things said in "Mockingjay" hit something inside me and I can't believe someone else who I've never met could affect me so intensely. I felt that I was Katniss and was being forced to make all of these impossible decisions and do these impossible things. I still can't believe how amazing these books are. They are definitely for a higher maturity level, but I think it's impossible to outgrow them. Definitely good for teens. Though it is fiction, it's definitely not your "fantasy" vampires and dragons and fairies story, but I don't see how anyone could NOT like these books. I wish I could give more than five stars, possibly an infinite amount? Because these books definitely deserve them all. And THANK YOU SUZANNE COLLINS for bringing these books into the world!!! I know that's cheesy, but it's well deserved!

Wonderful Series!
I can't say enough about this series. It is a wonderful blend of action, drama, romance and suspense. I spent the last few day sneaking in a few extra pages every chance I got; at work, while cooking dinner, while giving my daughter a bath. I haven't been this engrossed in a story since The Twilight Series. I know some reviewers stated they didn't care for the final book, Mockingjay, but I thought it was an excellent and very unpredictable ending to the series. The final pages had me in tears. I absolutely love this series!

Must Read!!! It will not dissapoint you!!!!
The Hunger Games Trilogy is a must read. It made me laugh, cry, smile, and do so many other things that only a few books will have me do. When Collins wrote about everything you just had to know what happened next. It was a page turner and I couldn't stop.

BLEW ME AWAY!
From the moment i read the first page of the first book, i wasn't able to put it down. Luck was with me though as i was sick and staying home from school and had plenty of time to indulge in this masterpiece of a series! Suzanne Collins has truly outdone herself! <3 I can't put into words the feelings I feel for these three books! I cried the whole hour i spent reading the last three chapters of "Mockingjay" (the last book), I was both furious and crushed at the same time... If you don't read these books you will regret it and will have missed the best trilogy to ever hit the bookshelves! I am a really big Twilight fan, like a die hard twilight fan and i can proudly say that "the Hunger Games" are the BEST books I have ever read, even better than The twilight series. BUY THEM. NOW.

Wonderful series!
I usually think utopian society type books are terrible and rarely hold my interest. However, this series absolutely blew me away! I didn't expect to utterly and completely fall in love with the characters and each character truly held a piece of my heart and as the series continued, I thought my heart would crumble to bits from fear of losing those characters and facing the unknown without them. Suzanne Collins is a truly remarkable author and I am just so blessed to be able to enjoy her works.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I would definitely recommend this series to any reader. My brother read the books when they first came out and had briefly mentioned for me to read them and I sort of brushed it of because I was so engrossed in The Twilight Saga but I finally decided to read the trilogy since a couple of my friends read it and told me I would love it. To my surprise my friends and brother were totally right..this series is absolutely amazing. Let's just say I finished all three books in TWO DAYS. That's how good they are. They are definitely page-turners and I literally could not put them down for anything, for the two days that it took to read them I did not want to do anything except read read read! I'm completely obsessed, it's the type of books that will leave you hanging with your mouth open in shock after you're done. Definitely makes you think a lot. I would totally read the series again and again and am so looking forward to the movie in March of 2012, hopefully they be will as good as the books! Although we all know the books are always way better then the movies..I'm holding up head up high for this one!

AMAZING!!!
These books are truly amazing. I couldn't put them down! I read the first and second within one month, and read the third one in a month by itself, just because I wanted to do my English project on it. The Hunger Games trilogy is really not only for teens, but for adults, too. Before I read these, I was completely obsessed with the Twilight saga. I really didn't think I would like any other books, but I picked up The Hunger Games, and I fell in love with it. I was overwhelmed when I read Catching Fire, just because it was so good. I would say that if anyone wants to read these books, please do. :)

Who will win the 74 annual Hunger Games? The hunger games is about a girl named Katniss who sacrifices her life to save her sister Prim from being picked in the annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a game that kids play and they have to be the last one standing. This game is to remind the districts to not overcome the government like district 13. One girl and one boy will be picked from each district and they will have to kill each other. I think this is a good book for people who like excitement and sadness. If someone were to ask if I I liked the book I would say I loved it and I would read it a thousand times. This book has lots of drama adventure and L O V E. Will Katniss win the Hunger Games? Who knows? May the odds be ever in your favor.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Honestly [SPOILERS]
I read the entire series in a week. Considering that I'm a college sophomore who also happens to be an English major, this wasn't a difficult feat. Especially since this was one of the most captivating, enthralling series I have ever read. The plot line is fantastic. Many people have serious complaints considering the second book's return to the Hunger Games. However, it makes logical sense. The leaders who created the Quarter Quell WOULD include this challenge. And if the Katniss had not gone back in, she never would have been recruited by District 13.
But there are some gaping holes. First, the character development is awful. I cannot think of a single character, excepting perhaps for Peeta, who was any type of dynamic. Even though this series is written in first person point of view, Katniss NEVER changes. She never has a problem with simply being a figurehead for the rebellion and manipulated by the camera crews/District 13. She has no logical reasoning for assassinating Coin. And she never, NEVER believes in the rebellion itself, that the world can actually be changed for the better. Isn't that the whole point for the leader/figurehead of a cause? To believe in it? Of course, she would be completely susceptible to PTSD, but if she had believed in the cause itself, she never would have been as manically depressed as she was, wouldn't have been content with being shipped to District 12 at the end, to spend the rest of her days withdrawn from the politics of the new government she helped establish.
Secondly, the ending of the series. Just as Katniss is reaching the President, just as the climax commences, our heroine is hit by a bomb. And her sister Prim, the entire reason why Katniss has been fighting, unnecessarily dies. The entire falling action is horrendous and seemingly thrown together, as though the author didn't feel like writing out an extra 100 pages for a good/closure-ridden ending. Collins NEEDED extra pages. All the loose ends are tied up, sure, but in too rapid a pace, like she was rushing just to finish the novel. Katniss killing Coin, drudging about her home in District 12 for months, finally falling in love with Peeta...it all happens too quickly, doesn't give the readers the closure they deserve. For three books, we have been waiting to discover how the rebellion would end, where Katniss would end up--and especially who with. And it's suddenly over in twenty quick pages.
Third, the epilogue. Unnecessary as well. Very cliched. Truly not much to elaborate on.
And yet I give this series three stars. Because it did have me on the edge of my seat, ignoring homework, dying with anticipation for an entire week. Though the ending was a let down, though the heroine was the epitome of static and a nonbeliever, though the love triangle of the three books is brought to a too-rapid close, I want to buy the series. This series has an amazing concept, one that has been untried before, and is not too inappropriate yet just gory enough for middle school through adulthood. I recommend it.1 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

Best OMG moment book ever
I have read every single one of these books and loved them so much. Every chapter holds a new problem to be solved. A real page turner and anyone. From teens to adults you should read this book.

First book was good.
After reading the first book in this series, I was amazed. Normally, though I am a teen myself, I stay away from teen series because of predictable and tame plots. Hunger Games? No where near! I knew that Katniss somehow had to come out on top, but as the games neared their end, I still didn't know how she would do it. Her inner dialogue was amazing, quite similar to a few people I know, which made it believable. I didn't know there was a sequel at first. After tasting the story, there never should have been one. I went out and bought the second one last Christmas after hearing about it. I started reading it. At page 100 I grew sick of the book, threw it back on my shelf, where it remains unfinished to this day. The book series went from an amazing new view on teenage fiction to the same bland story that I'd read and thrown down so many times before. To be honest, I felt like I was reading another sappy romance novel, not the action filled Games of the first book. To be honest, it was more sappy than the Twilight series. Even after having friends explain to me the plot of the last two books to see if there is a reason to suffer through book 2, I see no point in continuing my reading and tainting the memory of the first. Save yourself the time. Read the first book, forget the existence of the last two.
