The Hunger Games

An FANTASTIC 3 part book series that includes violence, romance, brutality, cruelty, strategy, and awesomeness. There is a film adaptation coming to theaters in 2012 starring the always great Jennifer Lawrence. This series/franchise is better than Twilight in every way, shape and form, so don't even try to argue with that. It's like arguing that M. Night Shyamalan makes better movies than Christopher Nolan. You just won't win.

The BEST BOOK SERIES EVER. I couldn't stop reading once i picked it up! I brought the books with me everywhere! If you haven't yet read the hunger game books, GO READ THEM RIGHT NOW. I promise, you will not regret it! I'm not even a big fan of reading, but wow, these books hooked me!

The first movie that out is also great. I loved it too, but as always, the book always has all those extra details! I can't wait till the second and third movies come out!

It's about a girl that volunteer for her little sister in the 74th hunger games. A girl willing to save her sister and her family. A 16 year old girl will fight to the death with the other 23 tributes till one remains. Experiencing drama, romance, trust, and survival. It's a book and movie. The author is Suzanne Collins.

An emotionally changing movie and book. If you've seen/read any of The Hunger Games you'll at least understand where I'm coming from, if you haven't seen The Hunger Games or read it get down to the nearest book shop or library makes sure you read it before you watch it. If you want to see The Hunger Games you can buy it of the internet or watch it on Netflix.

A book where everyone dies. You become emotionally attached to everyone. Then they die. The main characters die. The family dies. The villians die. Everyone dies.

OMG SO YOU HAV 2 KNO ABT THIS. the hunger games is like a book serie dat is abt a grl hu haz 2 kill da ppl in da "hunger games" its like a draft from da EVIL GOVERMENT and she is 1 of dem. so den she kills a bunch of ppl and meats a kute boi <3 namd pita and dey luvs eachothr but deys gotta kill echothr. so u hav 2 reed da 3rd bk 2 find, but nvm.

That's how a teenage girl would describe this shit series. Basically, the hunger games is the newest fad shit book for fucktarded kids with no taste. It takes the trite "fight to the death" tournament trope and throws in a sappy romance to wet the privates of teenage girls. Avoid. But you already knew that, didn't you?

A book series written by Suzanne Collins. It completely rips off of "Battle Royale", a book by Japanese author Koushun Takami that was written over a decade before The Hunger Games. There were also two film adaptations of Battle Royale and a spin-off manga. Both books involve teenagers being forced to kill each other by the government.

The Hunger Games is very poorly written. Its biggest mistake is that it is written in 1st person, so one knows exactly how it ends the second one starts to read it. Suzanne Collins avoids showing the violence that takes place in her novel, usually implying deaths rather than showing them. This is because her target audience is teenage girls.

The protagonist, Katniss, is very unintelligent and has the same problem as all other female protagonists in modern teen fiction- she is in love with two guys and the main focus of the book is which one she chooses. This is the most important thing in the book- it doesn't matter that people are trying to kill Katniss, or that she lives in a world ruled by an oppressive government, or that her family is poor or that a rebellion is being started- the only thing important to her is choosing between these two guys. Everything else takes the back seat.

Essentially, The Hunger Games fails in every area that Battle Royal succeeds.
