The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins Reviews

===Hungry eyes=== I love books. I'm a bit of an addict in fact. I will buy books that sound good and pop them on my shelves or in my "to be read soon" pile which is ever growing. Soon I will consume every last piece of space on my shelves with books and this will make me warm and cosy on my insides. Recently I've ...  Read the complete review

This book is absolutely amazing! It is the first book of this wonderful series and by chapter two it already caught my attention. I love thrillers and suspenseful books. This one shows my love, because Collin's way of putting the story together matches my description of preferred books. She includes an immense amount of action that will ...  Read the complete review

I am a very late joiner to the Hunger Games bandwagon because despite all the hype around it I resisted reading it until yesterday. The main things putting me off were that, based on the brief outline of the plot which I had heard, I thought it sounded like a massive Battle Royale rip off (something which a lot of people have obviously ...  Read the complete review

Suzanne Collins certainly does seem to be one of the authors of the moment, her Hunger Games trilogy seemingly the latest teen craze, the Twilight saga having come to a literary close even we have one film left to experience. Winning teen movie awards and making bigger stars out of its cast, the film of the first book has helped the ...  Read the complete review

Hunger Games What attracted me to this one? This novel has been on my reading list since reading Wickedinrock's review some time ago. The movie was released and I resisted the temptation to go and view it before reading the book. The premise sounded unique and fascinating in the first instance but since all the hype it ...  Read the complete review

'The Hunger Games' is the first of a trilogy of novels written by Suzanne Collins. The two following books are 'Catching Fire' and 'Mockingjay.' This review focuses only on the first book.

Ok, due to the movie adaptation of this hugely popular book recently hitting cinemas it's hard for people to avoid mention of 'The Hunger Games'. At first I was wary of the hype, worrying that the book (and therefore the movie) couldn't possibly be as good as people were claiming. Eventually my housemate who is a big fan of the series ...  Read the complete review

I was late to the bandwagon with this series, since I'm always a bit suspicious of the current "big thing". Whenever I've dabbled in the latest bestsellers, I've usually come away disappointed. With the recent film having piqued my interest, though, I thought I'd make an exception and see what the fuss was about, aiming to read ...  Read the complete review

This is a review of the 2008 book 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins. It is listed as young adult (YA) fiction but I think it is perfectly suited to adult reading as well. Thanks to fellow dooyooer Jo1976 for swapping this book! I read it in 24 hours and just couldn't put it down. The Hunger Games is part one of a trilogy of books and ...  Read the complete review

As the launch of the first Hunger games film fast approaches I thought I'd take the opportunity to get myself up to date. Now, I admit I have a bit of an identity crisis at times, although my teens are definitely a thing of the past I keep reading these books aimed at people who are still in them. The Hunger Games ...  Read the complete review

'1984', 'Brave New World', 'V for Vendetta', 'A Clockwork Orange' and now 'The Hunger Games'. I am fascinated by novels which present a vision of a dystopian society. 'The Hunger Games' presents a post-apocalyptic vision of a North America, tainted by humanity's past mistakes, it is little like North America as we know it. ...  Read the complete review

I have just finished 'The Hunger Games' in three days- probably the shortest time I have ever finished a book and found it such a struggle to put down- and now on the hunt for the next book, Catching Fire. ~~~THOUGHTS ON PLOT~~~ Every year, during the 'reaping', two tributes, a boy and a girl from each of the twelve ...  Read the complete review

**Note** Take note people, the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is the first in a trilogy of books. I only found this out by the time I got to the unsatisfying ending. The books are aimed at the teenage market, I thought it was average and I am almost 30. **Plot** The plot focuses on a girl called Katniss who is in ...  Read the complete review

Wow! I'm not a huge fan of teenage fiction (although I do confess to reading the Twilight Series) but this book - the first in the trilogy - was so good I could not put it down. From the first page I was gripped. I was actually recommended this book by a fellow teenage book skeptic. The story is set in a ...  Read the complete review

I have never been one for reading children's literature; in general I am something of an elitist when it comes to fiction having studied an English degree I tend to only enjoy "serious literature." I decided to read the hunger games on a recommendation from my twelve year old sister who has never been a great consumer of ...  Read the complete review

The Hunger Games is genuinely one of the best books I have ever read. I literally could not put it down once I started reading it; there was just too much suspense and surprise from the onset. There are so many things about this book that just shouldn't work, but somehow they do. Initially I thought that this was an action ...  Read the complete review

The land is divided into 12 districts, ruled over by the Capitol. As punishment for a long-ago rebellion against the Capitol, each district must hold a lottery and draw out the names of a ...  Read the complete review

I was recently given this book by a friend of mine who had listened to an audiobook of it and loved that. I could not put the book the down! It's so fascinating, exploring the world of reality TV and all of the behind the scenes goings on and fake storylines that you often see played out on the TV in the real world but with the added ...  Read the complete review

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a book which features a quote on the cover from Stephanie Meyer (author of Twilight), praising the book very highly. Perhaps this endorsement helped The Hunger Games reach popularity, but I would like to think it would have done it on its own... Katniss Everdeen is sixteen years old. She ...  Read the complete review
