Lenny's description:

Seller's description:
Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.

Average Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Rating:

- too expensive.
Why would the kindle edition be more expensive than the paperback and the hardcover editions?

- :)
Death, romance, killing, phenomenal writing... HOLY COW! Pick it up, man! -Hannah P.s. I see many of the negative reviews compare The Hunger Games to Koushun Takami's Battle Royale. From someone whose read and thoroughly enjoyed both, I find that funny considering both novels are nothing alike. (Other than the obvious parts, of course)

Rating:

- The Hunger Games
Really great book. I've read at least 3 times. The first time I read it, I read for 3 hours straight and did nothing but read the book. I would reccomend the book to anyone!

Already had a copy. Purchased this one for a relative. My son had to read this for school, but I picked it up and could not put it down. Finished it in about three days and have been recommending it to everyone I know. Great book.

Rating:

- Could not put down!
I spent one entire day reading this book. I could NOT put the thing down! The Hunger Games is very engrossing, nail biting, and rewarding. I felt like the plot was something I had never read before, so it is an original and refreshing fantasy since the Twilight craze. Obviously, parents of younger teens should be aware that the book is (surprise!) very violent since it involves teens killing eachother to stay alive. However, the book to me is more than just an entertaining story. It is a futuristic portrayal of Rome, which reveals the demented crave for bloody entertainment and how societies accept it.
