My favorite book I read in '09. LIterally a "couldn't put it down." The only downside was I didn't see the cliffhanger coming, so I'm waiting to read book 2 until book 3 is out.

Someone mentioned The Running Man, by King. I found it more akin to The Long Walk, when King was Bachman.

I read a LOT of fantasy, and all of my friends told me to read this. I put it off and now regret it. Great book. Captivating. Not my favorite, But one of the most compelling books I've read.

Couldn't put it down!!

I don't think I could live with out Audible... I download the books to my Garmin. Sometimes when I get a really good book, I catch myself driving home going about 30 miles an hour so I can listen that much longer.

So amazing! Such a unique idea with romance thrown in. Loved this book and now see what all the commotion is about. So worth a read! I can't wait to start the next book in the series!

Literally could not put this book down. Dystopian future, big brother vs gladiator, a hint of romance - this story is brilliant, you will NOT be able to put it down!

Pretty good so far

Great book!

It was such an exciting book and the games in the book were so engaging no one could know what was happening next. The book would be glued to my hands everytime I started reading and it only took me a couple days to devour it completely.

Kind of like 'Running Man' full of innocent kids, one of the best books I've read recently, loved it!!!

I heard there's gonna be a movie- can't wait!

LOVE this series and try to get my friends and family to read it too!

I am BEYOND glad my friend made me read this. I mixture between The Running Man and Battle Royal. Brings out a lot of emotion between the characters. Also an edge of your seat type of book with every chapter that you read.

An original idea very well carried out. I enjoyed every part of this book and I couldn't put it down. (Team Gale!)

Anybody else review it? This is one of my favorite by (by a favorite author at that ;-)
I'm currently ecstatic about the third and final book, Mockingjay.

Most amazing book I've read in a long time! Have recommended it to everyone I know! At least 10 people!

My new favorite book! I couldnt stop reading! I read it in one night then quickly finished the 2nd one the same night! I love Katniss shes a strong girl. cant wait for the 3rd!!

Recommend

Fascinating! Vivid, it sucks you in, you feel like you're there. Page turner.

I just love this book! It's a sad, and kind of scary, basis for a novel. But it's really well put together. I can't wait for Mockingjay in August.

Every word held my intrest even with such a sad, scary topic

Awesome series!! Can't wait for Mocking Jay in August! It's...different and..morbid? but good!! better than good, amazing! One of my favorite book series!

I liked this

Amazing read! The Hunger Games series is my favorite right now and I'm impatiently waiting for Mockingjay! If you haven't read this book yet you are missing out.
