Description
Quando Katniss urla "Mi offro volontaria, mi offro volontaria come tributo!" sa di aver appena firmato la sua condanna a morte. È il giorno dell'estrazione dei partecipanti agli Hunger Games, un reality show organizzato ogni anno da Capitol City con una sola regola: uccidi o muori. Ognuno dei Distretti deve sorteggiare un ragazzo e una ragazza tra i 12 e i 18 anni che verrà gettato nell'Arena a combattere fino alla morte. Ne sopravvive uno solo, il più bravo, il più forte, ma anche quello che si conquista il pubblico, gli sponsor, l'audience. Katniss appartiene al Distretto 12, quello dei minatori, quello che gli Hunger Games li ha vinti solo due volte in 73 edizioni, e sa di aver poche possibilità di farcela. Ma si è offerta al posto di sua sorella minore e farà di tutto per tornare da lei. Da quando è nata ha lottato per vivere e lo farà anche questa volta. Nella sua squadra c'è anche Peeta, un ragazzo gentile che però non ha la stoffa per farcela. Lui è determinato a mantenere integri i propri sentimenti e dichiara davanti alle telecamere di essere innamorato di Katniss. Ma negli Hunger Games non esistono gli amici, non esistono gli affetti, non c'è spazio per l'amore. Bisogna saper scegliere e, soprattutto, per vincere bisogna saper perdere, rinunciare a tutto ciò che ti rende Uomo.

1By By dmeHow can this book be published 3-20-12 and all reviews the same day? This book has been out for some time. Did I miss the English version and now can only get it in Italian? How can you be so out of touch with this being one of the most popular books right now among teenagers and adults plus a very anticipated movie of the book to show very soon. Get with it and get an English version available soon! I can't even give it a rating. I'm very disappointed😂. Rating should be ZERO! Or NA.Dummies
5By TcribbsIt is so plainly visible that it is in Italian. I'm sure it's some legal thing keeping it from being here in English. Funny thing about books is they do actually still make them! Try buying a real paper book. They are definitely out there. Great books btw.Lear to Read Description Before You Buy!
5By TennieCakesI love how most people are upset that when they bought the book it was in Italian however the description above is in Italian. hehe...
3By Swag it OUt!You people really cannot blame iTunes here. You should've been the one to look at the FULL title. It says (Italian Edition) right there, so stop complaining.Am very upset
1By Leisha06I called apple questioning why they didn't have an English version for this book, which she told me it wasn't published yet for some reason in iBook. So she suggested I downloaded the kindle app and read it from there... So inconvenient!!!!Are you people morons??
5By The_Blind_LifeThe book clearly describes itself as Italian. Read the intro to the book before you download. It's no wonder our country is where it is today. When people can't even buy a book properlyHunger Games
1By Try redHow do you get a refund??????? I want my money back! Please make it evident if a book is no in English!!!FAIL
1By William DeerHow is this not in English?! Haven't bought it because I saw the description in Italinan. iTunes you are failing me on books lately.Hunger games foreign language!
1By Betbru19Its only in some foreign language! I was excited to THINK that i had finally found It. Only after purchasing did i find it in italian!!!! I was very disappointed. I had to deleted it. DISAPPOINTING!!!!Hunger games- rip off
1By JsrimyIn the first place, when a book is in a different language, the title should be. It is NOT unreasonable to expect an English title to be written in that language. Refer to "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". What was the reason behind that?Where is English version?
2By MichihuaGood thing i always get a sample. I even though it's spanish!!! No it's italian!! Why??Hunger Games
1By Giddie71Why isn't the Title in Italian. I am sure you have sold hundreds of copies that are not able to be read by the purchaser. State up front, in Italian!Italian!!!!
1By Non Italian readerI just did the same thing!! I am really upset. Is there a ways to return these?????Hunger Games Rip Off
1By P.d.s.rPurchased this book without knowing it is in Italian!!! This is a big problem. Very unhappy. Should be refunded. Negative rating.
