I'm considering starting one after the current book I'm reading.

Hi maddezmon!

a quick read, and a really nice job of ratcheting up the tension. I can only speak of the first book haven't read the rest of the series yet.

I especially enjoyed the handling of the moral grey zones that the characters have to navigate to get from one day to the next.

such as what your post said, the more I'm looking forward to reading them.

is that I didn't lose that much sleep. I found it harder to put down as I got further into it.

I think it will be well worth your time.

It took me over a week to read it. It didn't get much better, but I read the other two in a day. I'm obsessed with this story at this point and I cannot wait for the first movie to open in March.
Woody Harrelson is playing Haymitch, which is pretty genius when you think about it. Donald Sutherland will be President Snow.
I highly recommend reading for everyone, but if your kids are reading them, please be sure to speak to them about it because I am 32 and I had some serious troubles with it, I cannot image being the age it's gear for and reading them. I cried and cried and was terrified through most of it.

It is a great read for all ages. I devoured the books...the later books in the series were a little repetitive but the first book captured me!

You should definitely Kindle it (or however you devour books today).

And I enjoyed it. It is an easy read and quite compelling. It really drew my in. I would recommend it, two of my daughters have read it as well and I gave it for a Christmas gift to my grand-daughter.

All three were good and I couldn't read them fast enough and then hated that I had finished them. Even my older brother loved them.


I found the concept fascinating and relevant to today in some ways.

I think they're engaging and disturbing, but very fun and readable.

I have to say, though, that the first one especially is incredibly similar to the plot of a book called Battle Royale from 1999. That Japanese novel was much more bloody and less concerned with the politics and morality -- it was mainly a thriller. And I give Collins credit for exploring more of her world outside the "game," especially in the second and third books.

Sunday...and I only have a small bit left. I would have finished it, but I have a cold and the cold medicine got the best of me.

It's very compelling, I'm really enjoying it, I will read the next one too.

I didn't read the Twilight series, which was a big hit with teens and adults. I did read Harry Potter, another one that was read by kids and adults.

There was a part in Hunger Games which brought tears to my eyes. I'm such a baby..

I hope the movie can live up to the book.

Here's the trailer for The Hunger Games:

and my daughter just asked to borrow the first one. I really liked it. I saw that trailer, I too hope the movie does the book justice!

I heard on the radio you can find out what district you're in. I haven't checked yet, I'm gonna explore later.

The retrofuck garbage of the Twilight series has made me wary of any super-popular YA fiction. But I'm a sucker for anything post-apocalyptic, so I gave it a shot, and I was so glad I did! The only thing that threw me off a bit is that they're written in present tense, but once you get into the story, you don't even notice.
