I'm not sure what it is about this book exactly that made me LOVE it but I read it in four hours and my heart was fluttering in my chest to reach the finale. It felt so natural to enter Katniss' reality... I could taste the musky remnants of coal as it fought its way to the surface of the mine shaft. I could feel the gaunt tug of hunger in my ribs as Katniss watched the boy with the bread with invisible eyes. I could literally experience the rush of adrenaline when Prim's name was announced and

Well, what can I say? The book is awesome and addictive! I’m actually trying to find a book to read on my spare time when I saw a book review about The Hunger Games. I got interested since it said on the book cover it is a New York Times Best Seller. I’ve read an ebook, not an actual book, so I know it’s less exciting.

Uglies meets Survivor.
Originally I read this book in the beggining of 2010. I adored it! Then after seeing the movie I decided to re-readthe series and it was just as good if not better than the first time I read it.
