My review for The Hunger Games is up.

#106: Sorry you did not enjoy The Hunger Games more. It remains one of my favorite books of the year. That being said, I am going to see if I can locate a copy of Battle Royale. Thanks for the recommendation!

34. The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins 3.5/5 stars I would feel like a hypocrite rating this any lower, since I essentially devoured it in a single sitting. It's a good book - a compelling book. Not poorly written, but simple. Not badly plotted, but predictable. I tried very hard not to ...

> #121 MusicMom, Hunger Games is really, really good, but it is not a 'fun' read. You know the basic plot, right? It's unputdownable but it's not a book that'll make you feel good about other humans. Def get the book from your son and read it first. Don't wait. > #122 Hi Lorie! >#123, #12 ...

I found a copy of The Hunger Games at my local library, and had to read it, since it popped up three times in the "Best YA SF" thread (thanks Aerrin99, Jnwelch, and Theexiledlibrarian, if you are reading this, for recommended the book in that thread). Quite an exciting read, with some ...

I'm glad you liked The Hunger Games and Graceling. I read both this year and enjoyed them as well. I'm eager for the sequels.

I liked The Hunger Games as well, and plan on reading the second book in the series when it comes out.

Book # 50 The Hunger Games You've convinced me! I bought it for my son when Stasia recommended it (intending to read it myself eventually if he thought I would like it) but he's got a heavy load this summer in graduate school so he won't get to it until August. I'm planning to read some fun ...

21. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. #16 & 18-Thanks for the recommendation -this is probably tied with Graceling for my favorite read of this year so far.

Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (you'll see a lot of buzz about this dystopia YA novel on LT), Graceling by Kristin Cashore, a YA fantasy, and The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, about a boy raised by ghosts, which won the Newbery Award.

39. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Review: Tell me what is the defination of a good book? For me it makes you laugh, cry, tremble with fear and ill with it's vivid imagery. The Hunger Games is all of those things and more. For months now I hvae been trying on and off to read this book and ...

... popped into Dymocks today to pick up a few Young Adult titles I've heard good things about on Library Thing (The Giver, The Hunger Games and Exodus). And my appetite to read The Slap, How the Dead Live and Handling the Undead has also been very much whetted after reading your ...

I have just finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - WOW!!!! It was an A read for me. I also finished an Aussie YA book called Finding Darcy by Sue Lawson - a very moving story of a teenager tracing the history of her great grandfather who was killed in WWII

I made the terrible decision last night to start The Hunger Games at around 11:30 before I went to bed.... I ended up staying up until 2:30 and sleeping for about 4 hours. Today wasn't very fun. But I really, really enjoyed the book. I also finished Thirteenth Child which I also enjoyed but ...

I just picked up The Hunger Games at a used book store and have heard nothing but good things, even more excited to read it. You're moving right along on your challenge, good luck!

8.The Hunger Games This book was really interesting, it kept me rapt all through the book, disturbing yes, am I looking at reality shows differently yes, I would recommend reading this very different and I was wondering the whole time what I would do If in the same place as the heroine and I ...

... You know what else I find spooky Ikernagh? 'The Recommendations feature of LT. Uncanny! From DeltaQueen, I've chosen The Hunger Games. Great reviews.

I am having a great reading year but my two top picks would be: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

I had a coupon that was about to expire for HPB.... The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins The Good Fairies of New York by Martin Millar ....and a couple of cds

Graceling and Hunger Games are definitely my 2 favorites books of 2008. Graveyard Book, not so much. I did get my hands on the Fire ARC and that is so far my favorite book of 2009. Totally different from Graceling, totally different characters, different world but still cool in that way ...

I recommend the Percy Jackson series and the 39 Clues series. I am also recommending The Hunger Games to everyone I know over age 12! Feel free to take a look at my website http://www.Bookwink.com for video booktalks and book lists organized by subject and grade.

Hunger Games and Graceling both have sequels coming out in Fall 09. OK and this is strange because the girls' names are so similar Katsa and Katniss - both sequels have "fire" in the title! Catching Fire is the sequel to Hunger Games. Fire by Kristin Cashore is a prequel to Graceling. I ...

#50 The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Review: eventually....loved this book though. kept me up late reading it.

I'm adding a couple of your books to my TBR pile. Glad you liked Graceling, I enjoyed it as well. The Hunger Games is another young adult book I've read this year that is very good.

Hunger Games is an amazing book, and I know you'd love it, DL. :D Pick it up ASAP! I can't wait until September for Catching Fire. I wish there was a way to get an ARC of it, but since it's became such a big hit they've already said there would be only a few ARCs sent out, and of those few, ...

>65 I've heard so much about the Hunger Games on LT that I wound up picking up a copy (which has now been added to my overly large TBR pile). I didn't realize there was any romance in it, now I'm looking forward to it even more!

... 09 Hot on Her Heels November 2009 Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins September 2009 (This is the 2nd book to Hunger Games. It is YA but it does have romance in it. I really loved the first book.)

#74: I loved The Hunger Games when I read it earlier this year, too. The sequel is due on September 1 in the States.

#74 Nice review of The Hunger Games. I really liked it when I read it last month and look forward to the next in the series as well. Have you read Graceling yet? It's another very good young adult novel.

... inevitable. And, Alcottacre, I'm thrilled to hear the release date for Catching Fire because I really loved The Hunger Games as well. Thanks for the tip. I'll be looking.

#22: Just so that you know Laurie, the sequel to The Hunger Games, Catching Fire comes out September 1 in the States. I already have my copy on preorder since I loved the first one so much!

Hey, anyone have a series they read that has a new book out? I can't wait for the sequel to The Hunger Games which doesn't come out until September!

I have The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins on order at the library. There is definitely a buzz around about this book.

bluesalamanders I totally agree with you. After reading The Hunger Games I, of course, checked online for a sequel. I didn't figure that I would find one though. I think it would be better as a stand-alone. I enjoy series', but I usually like the first book in the series the best. Even though I ...

I hold my opinion on whether or not The Hunger Games should have been wrapped up in one volume until after I read the sequel. The story certainly isn't finished (even without the little love triangle she got going there, it wouldn't be finished) and I often enjoy series, so it's possible that it ...

Surviving Antarctica: Reality TV 2083) by Andrea White The Hunger Games A Wrinkle in Time The White Mountains --which may be a part of a series--it's been a long time since I read it. I've talked about Surviving Antarctica on another post somewhere in LT--highly recommend to anyone ...

I absolutely loved The Hunger Games and Graceling. I liked the Twilight Saga, but it's a little overrated now. Um, I also enjoyed The Mortal Instruments. That's some of the stuff I likes :) And I will definitely check out Cannery Row and Lullabies for Little Criminals. Thanks so ...

... think of Unwind? If you liked it you could try Full Tilt which is also by Neal Shusterman. I am planning to read The Hunger Games I just have t get my hands on a copy. Right now i am reading The Amber Spyglass, and am re-reading New Moon. I just got from the library My Most E ...

I, too, loved The Hunger Games. Another fave is Gone, by Michael Grant. It's new in paperback right now, and the sequel will be out later this month. Can't wait!

May not be the right genres, but The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, and Graceling by Kristin Cashore are all topnotch recent YA titles.

I really liked most of the above (The Hunger Games, Graceling, The Graveyard Book), but my favorite new YA finds this year were Wake and Fade by Lisa McMann. I haven't seen a lot of buzz about these, and I can't for the life of me remember where I saw them recced to read them, but I liked ...

The Hunger Games at #1, followed by The Graveyard Book and Graceling.

Stayed up waaaayyy too late to finish The Hunger Games.

I have The hunger games on order

... anything by Diana Wynne Jones is brilliant. The Thief, Queen of Attolia, and King of Attolia are all excellent. The Hunger Games and The Giver are great YA dystopic fiction books. Wee Free Men, Hat Full of Sky, and Wintersmith are very good YA fantasies. A Wrinkle in Time ...

It's nowhere near as good, in my opinion, as The Hunger Games (though I wish Collins weren't going through with a sequel and wrapped up The Hunger Games in a single volume) and nowhere near as good as Ysabeau Wilce's ...

... Antarctica too, sounds good :). I also wanted to tell you that if you want you can make a member recommendation through Hunger Games, saying if you like that, to read this. I recommended Battle Royale in this way on the Hunger Games page.

I second or third The Hunger Games, The Giver, Childhood's End, City of Ember and also recommend: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'engle Jumper by Steven Gould Wind Singer by William Nicholson

So you would recommend Surviving Antarctica to someone who enjoyed The Hunger Games? I loved The Hunger Games, hadn't heard of Surviving Antarctica.

... Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Maybe there should be a separate YA list? I agree with the comments about books like The Hunger Games and The Giver. Adults read and enjoy them, too, and they would appeal to a lot of new readers.

... especially her addictive Heris Serrano series and The Speed of Dark, and I'll add a YA author, Suzanne Collins, for The Hunger Games. For YA fantasy that a non-YA can enjoy(!), try Kristin Cashore and Graceling.

#19 I agree about the writing style of The Hunger Games. The fact that it was writtem in the first-person present-tense was a little annoying until I got used to it. It sounded like the narrator was writing things down as they were happening. I kept getting an image of the main character with ...

# 147 jnwelch - You have just made my day, telling me there is a sequel to The Hunger Games. Thanks :) Edited to add - I've just finished this wonderful book, and I see at the end it basically says there will be another book! I will be one of the ones first in line for the next one.

Hunger Games is great. The sequel, Catching Fire is scheduled to come out this September.

#14 The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Wow, what a great book. I can't wait for the sequels. The part that I liked best was how pragmatic Katniss, the heroine, was. There were so many ways that the author could have made her weaker or soft, but that wouldn't have been in keeping with her ...

I thought i would actually try and keep track of the books i read this year so I reckoned that joining the 50 books challenge would be a good idea since i can never remember what i've read from one week to the next (mainly because i read far too much).

The follow up to The Hunger Games is Catching Fire but it's not due out until September.

Nice reviews, legxleg. I've got The Hunger Games in my TBR pile. My daughter has already read it and liked it. From your review it sounds like it's going to be a series. Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus sounds very interesting. I've never read anything by Orson Scott Card ...

Book #21 The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins This was one of those books that is impossible to put down. I was just so caught up in the plot and had to know what would happen next. Set in the future, North America is broken up into 12 Districts all overseen by the Capital. As a way ...

I finished rereading He, She and It by Marge Piercy and read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (yep, the whole thing :). I think I'll pick up Graceling by Kristin Cashore next.

I second the recommendation for The Hunger Games...it's AMAZING.

... Only four books-- one is about war, one's for children, one's an ebook, and one's a memoir. Ugh. Pass. I did notice that The Hunger Games is up for grabs for Americans, though, which I'm surprised about as it came out late last year! I thought this was supposed to be Early Reviewers? An ...

I agree with The Hunger Games! Also, what about The Chocolate War or Tangerine too?

I finished Sputnik Sweetheart which was gorgeously written, but not very compelling. I began The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins which is a YA dystopia. It's concept reminds me of The Long Walk by Stephen King. That book scared the beejeezus out of me in high school. I love Nikki G ...

... pick this book up, and for the rest of us who are anxiously awaiting the release of Collins' Catching Fire (the sequel to The Hunger Games), this is a great series that will engross us in the meantime.

Message #20 I have Hunger Games on my TBR pile. Sounds like I'll enjoy it.

Currently reading The Hunger Games (yay it finally came in!!!) and loving it

Ender's Game, Snow Crash, and The Hunger Games. I love the Miles Vorkosigan books, but they would be hard to film. I don't know whether anime would work or not.

The Hunger Games is truly excellent.

I second The Book Thief, Dairy Queen, and The Hunger Games and will add Graceling by Kristin Cashore to this list.

Two other good ones: Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie.

#5 Sybille.Night: Your post made me even more excited than I already am!

I've just finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, it was excellent and I read it in one sitting.

I've just left Panem and Katniss as I've just finished The Hunger Games. What a ride that was, it was fantastic.

I've just finished reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It's been a while - since Deathly Hallows was released, actually - since I literally couldn't put a book down. I had to read it from 8 AM in bed till 2 PM and couldn't stop even when having lunch. I'm sure you all know the premise ...

Stephanie Meyer commented that she liked the book Hunger Games on her website. I actually liked Hunger Games more than Twilight; I think that many Twilight fans would enjoy the book.

Welcome. I've got Graceling and The Hunger Games in my TBR pile. What did you think of them?

Bought Graceling by Kristin Cashore and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, after resisting for many months (I was waiting for the paperbacks). Absolutely can't wait to start them!

Shakespeare Stealer, mentioned above, is a good one, as is King of Shadows by Susan Cooper. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Graceling by Kristin Cashore are two good new ones.

... great. The Book Thief is an amazing read, set during WWII and narrated by Death. Two newer ones that are topnotch are The Hunger Games and Graceling, the former an engrossing dystopia thriller, and the latter a well-written fantasy.

... and recommend them to anyone who enjoys YA fantasy. I've already started lending my copies out to friends. I borrowed The Hunger Games from a friend who shares my affinity for YA SciFi and Fantasy. I love books set in dystopias and this was no exception. I can't wait for the sequal to come ...

# 8 I LOVED The Hunger Games — definitely one of my faves of the year, whether or not it's considered fantasy! My favorite fantasy novel of 2008 would have to be Elantris. I also enjoyed the Terry Goodkind novels I read. And as for teen fantasy, Gone and the Uglies series were ...

... it! So funny and real. The Order of Odd Fish by James Kennedy The most original fantasy I've read in a long time. Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: Very intense. Once I got into it I couldn't put it down!

I'll second The Hunger Games, it was great. Malorie Blackman's Noughts and Crosses is good, the fourth book - Double Cross has just come out.

... so I think I'll be spending a lot of time in this thread! A couple of good new ones I've read recently are Graceling and The Hunger Games.

Some good new YA books that I read this year are The Hunger Games and Graceling. Life as We Knew It is also great. I could go on and on.... Wicked Lovely, The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening and the Struggle, Alanna: The First Adventure, Dealing with Dragons.... I love YA :).

I just finished The Hunger Games, completing my Children's/YA Fiction category. This is actually only the second category that I've completed (the other is Fantasy), but things aren't really as bad as they seem. I haven't counted any repeats yet, so that will let me complete at least two more ...

I just finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I might go as far as to say it was the most exciting book I've read this year. A definite page-turner/stay up til 4am to finish it. And yes I did read all four books of the Twilight Saga this year.

... enjoyable. I'm now working on My Most Excellent Year by Steve Kluger. I notice many people have mentioned The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. That one's near the top of my list, and I can't wait to get to it. I'm glad to hear the reviews are so good!

>7 The Hunger Games is AMAZING! I loved that one so much! I read Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr last week and thought it was pretty okay, but left a lot to be desired. Will still probably read Ink Exchange eventually. Right now I'm reading an adult book called When We Were Romans ...

Finished The Hunger Games, and loved it! Definitely recommend this. Started reading A Map of Home today - and it's for sure a grown-up book. Loving it, though. Very elegantly done.

I am reading an ARC of The Hunger Games which I got from entering a contest. I totally forgot all about it untill last week when the book showed up in the mail! What a nice surprise!

I got The Hunger Games out of a cold request. I really, really wanted this one!

I am reading The Hunger Games. I'm not far into it, but I have a feeling I'm going to like it. It reminds me of Battle Royale.

I simply couldn't wait until Oct. 1 to read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins so I contacted Scholastic and the publicist wrote today that she's sending me an ARC - YAY! I just know it is going to rock my socks off.
