Description
This Special Edition of The Hunger Games includes the most extensive interview Suzanne Collins has given since the publication of The Hunger Games; an absorbing behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the series; and an engaging archival conversation between Suzanne Collins and YA legend Walter Dean Myers on writing about war. The Special Edition answers many questions fans have had over the years, and gives great insight into the creation of this era-defining work.In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to death before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Still, if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

4By Hockey player 👩🏽Book was really really good. I think it could be a little more like dramatic than.Spectacular… wow… bravo!
5By Bookdude...yeahI usually don’t read much but after I watch the movies I decided to read the first book at least to see how different the adaptation it is and… wow. Just wow, this is really impressive just, wow, just wow bravo, bravo. This book is perfect for me, first of all I love dystopian (and I mean LOVE), second of all I loved the movies (yes even the Mockingjay Parts), and it’s not as long as the Harry Potter books. This book is exactly what I was waiting for, yes! Oh my god, yes!The Hunger Games
5By Jiyoon Y.Great book!A Magnificent Tale
5By Fisherboy 1999This is a magnificent tale of bravery, intelligence, and love. Katniss is the kind of protagonist I enjoy reading about. I can see why it became adapted for a feature film. The danger had me fearful and engaged constantly. If you only read one book in this series make sure it is this one.Absolutely Amazing!

5By @leoknowsballtuff 👍The Best Book I’ve Ever Read
5By CrazyReaderWriterI LOVED this book!!!! I’m completely obsessed with THG. I just finished SotR. Anyway, this book is the best in the series. I LOVE Peeta!!! I hate Gale. The book is SO much better than the movie. Half of the scenes were cut out in the movie (mostly everlark scenes) Okay, this is kind of jumpy. Peeta and Katniss look perfect together. My fav character was honestly Peeta, Katniss a close second. The three main plots were, 1. The Games 2. The Romance 3. The Rebellion #peetaisthebest #everlarkRead it for the plot (peeta is the plot) 😻
5By My yt is Pinkrxsesi fell in love with the movies, (or js peeta idk) and i had to read the books. i read this in 3 weeks and i’m amazed on how well it’s written, the words and how she described things was amazing. 110% recommend this book to anyone, especially because it has so much more scenes then the movie. And Peeta in the books is sooo much better than the movies! peeta is so flirty and confident. but in the movies he seems more shy. yeah so spend the 10 bucks and read this thing NOW!!!MJ
5By MJ FamWay better than the movie!Fun Read
5By MSimieleThis is an easy read that will keep you entertained from beginning to end!Book 1
1By horrible5829The book jumps from chapter 2 to 10. You can’t read anything in between. I would have given a zerostart to a series you might just NEVER forget…
