36 - Man, do I feel old! ;)
But I'd like to know from those who've seen the movie - is it appropriate to take my 10 year-old son to the movie? What is the rating for it?
Thanks!

[Taylor]

I was 17 (:

[Mary]

started at 11 finished the whole seies when I was 12.

[Megan]

I was 12 and I read it in two days!

[Sara]

24. I throughly enjoyed the book! I think you should be at least 13 or so before reading to fully understand.

[Catherine]

y'all know that somebody can figure out y'alls age by seeing this, right?

[Deanne]

Haha 40. Just read it in the past few months, right around the time the movie came out. Love it so much. My daughter is reading it now, and she is 12. She loves it too. I think 12 is a great age for it.

[Jen]

21 :)

[Shannon]

I was 17 (I'm 20 now).

24. i was reading books similarly dark when i was in 3rd or 4th grade though.

[Olivia]

11, finished seris in a day and im now 12. And by the way Sara, i fully understood it and probably could have understood it at 10. We are not 5 year old running around thinking boys have cooties and the skys going to fall, people died to remind people that the capitol owns them and can hurt them at any moment-emotionally and phisically.

[Tina J]

I only read it last year....so I was 23!
I began to read it once I knew the book was being made into a movie.

17? I loved it. I keep recommending this to my younger sister but sadly she's not much of a reader.

[Tanvira]

I was 12, nearly 13. And I thought it was fantastic. My family thought it was too mature for me though so my teacher(who recommended I in the first place) saved me saying it was fine for kids 10 and above.

[Lior]

11 or 12
something like that...

[Ryan]

I finished reading it a few weeks ago, so I would have been 25.
Currently reading Catching Fire.

As for the best age (or youngest)?
Each person is different. I went and saw Die Hard 3 at the movie theaters when I was 9 and saw quite a few violent and graphic movies at a young age.

[Olga]

I'm 36 and just finished it. On book 2 right now.

[Sarah]

i was 12 when i readed it i LOVE the books and the movie

[Ellie]

I was 12 when i read it. and I fell in LOVE with it.

[SEMI PRECIOUS JADE]

12 and it was am-a-zing!

[Cara]

i was and am 14! I started it a couple months before the movie came out, but am now in love with the series so for the people that say "You can't be a big fan if you only started when you found out there was a movie" then you're wrong...

[Julia]

21, and I really enjoyed the book.

I think I would have read it as young as 10 or so.

Yup! Same with me! Though I read just a few days b4 the movie. I was gonna read it a few years before but there wasn't anyone or anywhere I could borrow it.

[Christopher]

Though I was too old at 47, but see others much "younger at heart" ahead of me :)

[Joanne]

55 - and I loved the whole series
I wish we had books like this when I was 12 or 13
I just think it's great to see that so many 'younger' people are reading

[Mona]

I think I was almost 19 when I started reading the series..a friend gave the books to me as a early birthday present :)

[Shawn]

40. I've read some books in the last few years because my kids and their friends were reading them and I wanted to know what they were reading (Twilight series, Eragon series, Hunger Games trilogy). For the most part I've enjoyed them. It's been fun to share a love of reading with them also.

I don't know what age, but I know what grade I was in, sort of. I was in middle school, so it was either last year or the year before last. So 14 or 15

11... but think about it, this series is so NOT appropiate in my opinion. i gove it a 2.5 out of 5 stars.... I personally think that 16 would be perfect to read.
