Okay, without going into the whole plot thing, I just have to say this book was two things: Surprising and exciting.
I was surprised because it wasn't like any other young adult book I had ever read and exciting because it was full of fast-paced action, and by action I mean fight scenes. Lots and lots of fight scenes.
I knew this book was going to be different when Katniss talked about the bobcat that started following her around. I expected it to become a pet....oh no, because she is concerned it ...more

I read this book to my son and we were hooked from the very beginning. I have listened to my students talk about this series for over a year and can't believe it's taken me this long to read it!

I loved this book and finished it in two days. (would of been one but I had to sleep) This is a great sci/fy adventure. It grabs you from the very first page. The book is written as if you are right there in the book with the main character. I cannot wait to read the next book.
I don't think I've ever read a book so quickly without even trying. The Hunger Games is a real page turner. Geeze ... it was just so good. I'm pretty much speechless.
