A good read that is set in a future where human rights and equality have been banished and North America has become a segregated, isolated civilization. A very interesting concept indeed. Well written to keep the reader wanting to know what happens next and really dives into the soul of the main character Katniss Everdeen. Should be a good movie coming out this year, just hope it's not another one of those teeny-bopper movies... (  ) sjh4255 | May 4, 2021 |  First don't be put off by the fact that this book is recommended for young adults, you will love it, especially if you like stories about hard choices and adventure. I will admit I had trouble putting it down Suzanne Collins draws you into the story slowly building as she goes. When you are reading the story you are transported in your mind into the story, the people and event and places become real, you can almost hear and smell what is happening. ( ) klrabbit58 | May 3, 2021 | The Capitol is harsh and cruel and 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. Could you survive on your own in the wild, with every one out to make sure you don't live to see the morning? Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weight survival against humanity and life against love. I really enjoyed this book. I read it in within 24 hours. I didn’t know this at the time but this is Suzanne Collin’s first young adult novel. I couldn’t imagine growing up in a world like that having no control over your own life. Not having enough food to feed my family. So it leaves you without the choice of having to put your name in the lottery. It’s a system you aren’t meant to win. It will be interesting to see Peeta and Katniss relationship develop over the next few books. Happy reading everyone!! ( ) jacashjoh | May 2, 2021 | Recommended by my oldest nephew. I enjoyed it but won't need to read it again. (  ) KittyCunningham | Apr 26, 2021 | This was Battle Royale with less punch. (  ) illmunkeys | Apr 22, 2021 |

Het verhaal, vertaald uit het Engels, speelt zich af in de toekomst. Na een burgeroorlog is van Noord-Amerika het land Panem overgebleven, bestaande uit het welvarende Capitool met twaalf daaraan ondergeschikte districten, waarin veel armoede en onvrijheid heersen. In de jaarlijkse Hongerspelen moeten 24 kinderen, uit elk district een jongen en een meisje, strijden op leven en dood in een ‘Big Brother’-omgeving. Katniss Everdeen (16, ik-figuur) uit het 12e, armoedigste district springt in de bres voor haar jongere zusje Prim wanneer deze wordt uitgeloot. Na een wat aarzelend begin krijgt het verhaal vaart in het tweede en derde deel. Het thema is gedurfd: een strijd op leven en dood tussen twaalf- en achttienjarigen, als vorm van vermaak. Wie is de slimste overlever? De auteur creëert een eigen begrippenkader dat zijdelings doet denken aan Harry Potter. Ze combineert overlevingstechnieken uit de traditie van Jean Auels prehistorische romans met ultramoderne technologie. Het slot lijkt voorspelbaar, maar is dat niet. Spanning, romantiek en het open einde maken de lezer nieuwsgierig naar het volgende boek in deze serie, 'De Hongerspelen II: vlammen'*.

In a future North America, where the rulers of Panem maintain control through an annual televised survival competition pitting young people from each of the twelve districts against one another, sixteen-year-old Katniss's skills are put to the test when she voluntarily takes her younger sister's place.
