Hunger Games: The Hunger Games (Hunger Games, Book One): Volume 1 , Book 1, (1st Edition)(Hardcover)

Wow!!!! What a great book. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. I am now going to Walmart today to buy the other 2 in the series. I know they will be equally good or better then the first!!!!!

This book was absolutely amazing. I'm not a big reader myself, but when my friend told me if I wanted to see the movie with them, I had to read it. So I did, and now I am addicted. I am on the third and last book. You get very attatched to the characters. I can barely put the books down now, as I spend hours at a time reading them. Get this book and you will not regret reading it! YOLO

I absolutely loved the book (the series, as a matter of fact). I was sorry to get to the end. My kids and I bought 2 sets of the books, for the 5 of us to share, and were still calling anxiously when one would finish before someone finished the next one. Looking forward to the movie, tho I'm sure it won't do it justice. My nephew just started mandatory reading of the series in high school, and I am delighted.

This book includes a intricate plot centered around a young woman living in a new world where children pay for the mistakes of the past and the government tries to control the working class through hunger and fear. This brave new world in which she lives is only a few steps from our own and you can quickly see how easily this story could be a reality. This book has adventure, suspense, mystery and a love interest which makes it a good book for everyone. Where the world is cruel, violent and unjust, this book is still appropriate for even a 4th grader to read.

First of all, the whole Hunger Games series is awesome. Definitely buy these books, it is worth it. Also, if you want a hardcover of this awesome book, you can't beat Wal-mart's online price. i shopped around and even if you choose to have it shipped to your home instead of site to store, it is still cheaper than buying it anywhere else. Came in a timely manner and in perfect condition.
