The Hunger Games
discussion
How old were you when you read this?
43 LOVED THE SERIES AND THE MOVIE.
I was 15 when I read it. I think the youngest age I would read it is 12..
62, at the behest of my son.
18. Read the whole serie in 3 days. Before that they never seem interessting to me. Now I know I was wrong.
I just read it a few months ago. So, I was 18. I didn't even know there was such a hype for these books. I just got Amazon Prime and could rent a book for free...so I got the number one book for Kindle. And now I'm here :PI wish I would have known about these when I was younger, maybe around 14.
I was 25 (I'm 26 now) :-) My cousin told me about it March last year and I ended up devouring the series in just over a week! Thinking of reading it all again sometime!
60 and just saw the movie!
23...I'm old, haha. 24 now (I read them around the holidays)
I was 15 or 16. I can't remember which!
I was 11 when I read it for the first time.
5......jk i was 12
i think i was about 15 or 16, but i would have read them sooner if i had known they existed :)
I was 14 or 15, cuz that's when they came out, but my little sister read them at age 11. She wanted to read them earlier but I wouldn't let her. The age totally depends on the maturity of the person.
I think I was either 16 or 17. I'm not sure.
I was 12 and my sister was 10 or 11
I believe I was 12, but I MAY have been 13. I DID NOT want to read it at all to start but then I had to read a science fiction for class and my teacher recommended it to me. Soooo I read it. And loved it. Books and subjects know no age. If your mind is mature enough then you are perfectly capable of reading, comprehending, and loving this series.

I think if she understood and liked the Harry Potter series she will be perfectly fine with the Hunger Games if she's interested. There's PLENTY of death in the Harry Potter series. (another one of my favorites!) the Hunger Games is a fantastic read for children, too. It just depends on how well they can comprehend the main idea, I guess.

i read it when i was in sixth grade so what ever age that is seems good to me:)
14, Its an awesome series!
I was 25 when I read the first book. I'm reading the second book right now.
I was around 10 and I absolutely loved it. I think it really just depends on the maturity level of the literature and television a person has been exposed to.I have re-read it several times since then and have liked it and understood it better each time. It is definitely a very eye-opening book, but it really just depends on the maturity level and understanding of the reader.
12 and i loved it.
33. I gave it 5 stars. The film was barely a 4.
19. I think that anyone over 14. 12 and above of your mature enough.
I was 13 turning 14 and I loved it.
12 and it was awesome!!!
11 i thought it was awesome!
30, and I love them! My 15 year old, last year, had to read the first book for required reading in English (in the 8th grade) How cool is that? He didn't care for it, but I still think it's pretty interesting that they chose it. My son is at that stage when if it's popular, it must therefore suck, and be made fun of. You don't even want to hear what he thinks about Twilight. (although I have my own problems with Twilight, but for much different reasons!)
22. it was recommended to me by a friend of mine.

I think eighth grade and up is good. I think overall the books are a little too dark for a sixth grader to completely understand. But then again, I had reading problems when I was younger, so maybe sixth grade is about right.
