read the book now i cant wait till the movie is out !

My hubby, children and I are so pumped up for this movie! The book is fantastic! Can't wait!

I wanted to know what everyone was talking about, so I picked up the book and fell into it. It literally sucked me in and I could not put it down. Would recommened to everyone I know- great trilogy! I am looking forward to watching the movie at the end of March.

I couldn't put this book down, started reading it the second I got home from the book store. It's a great book for many ages and I think it will become a classic that different generations will read, maybe in school as well. I can't wait to read the other books in this series, can't wait to see where the characters end up next!

My 14 year old is currently reading this book and he can't seem to put it down. He's really enjoying it.

I had no interest in these books, all I had heard was they were "war" books for teens. After hearing many of my married friends raving about them I thought I would give them a try. I read all 3 books in 3 days and now my 13 year old is reading them. LOVED these books!

One of the best of all time!

I just read this book and I am dying to get my hands on the next two. Just fantastic. I was so caught in the story and never wanted to put the book down. Wish I would have picked it up sooner.

It's one of those books where I didn't care if I had to wake up early the next day to go to work, I could not put it down. The entire series is great !! I recommended the series to one of my co-workers and she loves it too !!

I loved the book so much, I made my husband read it. My 11 year old daughter listened to the audio book with me. I was afraid some of the death scenes would be too much for her, but she enjoyed the book as much as I did. we are both looking forward to the movie, and I'm getting my Effie costume ready for the premiere!

I received a Kindle for Christmas and was looking for books to read. Started reading this series and couldn't put it down. I'm a Twilight fan and this series falls right in there. Hope they make a movie. Love, love, love.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was hesitant about reading this book for well over a year because I was so certain I would not like it. It did not seem like "my kind" of book. But I read a number of reviews by book reviewers that I trusted, and I figured the time had come to read it when I happened to win a copy of it. And with the upcoming film, I knew it was now or never. From the very beginning, I was drawn into this book like I very rarely am drawn into books. The writing style was impeccable, and the characters were incredibly well-crafted. It was also frightening when I realized that what was being spoken of could actually happen some time in the future. I found that I repeatedly forgot where I was as I read (even when I was subbing in a classroom of students), and all I wanted to do was read this book and nothing else. I found myself thinking about the main characters and wanting to know what would happen in the story. I wanted to believe that the author would not allow the unthinkable to happen, but I wasn't sure. And I will tell you that the book does not end how you would like it to end, but it ends the way it should. If the author had chosen to end it differently, I don't think I would even be considering reading another book in the series. I wouldn't even think about it being part of a series. I am absolutely "taken" with Suzanne Collins. She is one of the best authors I have read in recent times. I appreciate the fact that there was almost no profanity of any kind (only one word that I recall, and it was not even that bad). There is no sex (go figure--a YA book with no sex!). And she knows exactly how to keep you guessing. Although the science fiction, futuristic elements are there, everything makes sense. You aren't left wondering why thus and such happened--you know why! The action was mesmerizing, and the unexpected love story was absolute genius! She even has a sense of humor that comes out at exactly the right time. This is a book that I can unequivocally recommend to anyone who enjoys reading fiction. It makes no difference if you like historical fiction, romance, science fiction, action, or an genre! This should be at the top of your TBR list if you have not read it! One other thing I would like to add is to thank the author for such a positive message for young people (and everyone)even when dealing with such a dark topic. And the message is resonating with young people. As I read the book, I was asked by so many teenagers about the book. Many had read it and said how much they liked it. It is good to see an author write about a character who stayed true to what she believed and did not forsake her morals. She didn't let anyone change her! Thank you, Katniss!

This is a series that you AND your teens and tweens can all enjoy. It is truly a modern classic. I have a degree in literature and was really impressed with the writing, character development and storyline. I highly recommend this to anyone, but especially those who are fascinated by the ideas of utopian/dystopian societies and the often unintended outcomes of such.

Love these books! They are some of the best books that I have read in quite a long time, and that is saying a lot. I am a huge reader. These books are at the young adult level, so they are pretty easy and quick reads. The twists of the plot between the books are great and unexpected. I would reccomend these books to anyone who is looking for a great book to read!

This series definitely sucks you in from the beginning! The author has an uncanny way of drawing you in and making you feel like you are part of the character, feeling their emotions and sorrows. It also stirs up some great discussion about life and war. It is a definite must read for any avid reader!
