Reviews for The Hunger Games:

Stephen King-“’The Hunger Games” is a violent, jarring, speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense … I couldn’t stop reading.”

“Impressive world-building, breathtaking action and clear philosophical concerns make this volume, the beginning of a planned trilogy, as good as The Giver and more exciting..” Kirkus Reviews

Stephenie Meyer (Twilight) -“The story kept me up for several nights in a row, because even after I was finished, I just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it …The Hunger Games is amazing.”

“The suspense of this powerful novel will keep the reader glued to the page long after bedtime” VOYA

“brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced…the considerable strength of the novel comes in Collins's con­vincingly detailed world-building and her memorably complex and fascinating heroine. …an exhilarating narrative and a future we can fear and believe in, but it also allows us to see the similarities between Katniss's world and ours.” The New York Times
