So great to hear, Barb, and thanks so much for coming back to this old review to comment!

It was VERY hard to wait between the books- nice that you could simply go from one to the next with ease. Now your only wait is for the movie!

Well, we finally got around to reading these recently. I picked up The Hunger Games on a whim at a book fair, and was immediately hooked. My son and my fiancee have also gotten in on the action, and it was very fun to have the book to talk about together.

Maybe we were lucky, because we read them at a time when I could easily pick up the rest of the trilogy at the library. Great discussions in my household, and wonderful to see my son (a very reluctant reader) wanting to read and see what happens next.

hi there, saw your post about Hunger Games and had to chime in — my daughter raved about it and I fell in love with it instantly. I’m an author and fairly dismissive of many YA books — my girls read too many “pink” covers — but this one was extraordinary.

Thanks for covering this very current and popular work.

Amanda (age 10 1/2) just read this, so I asked her thoughts and she said, “That’s a really good review of the book.” I asked her about the intensity, and she said, “It is very intense,” and then tried to get her to make a recommendation (I was going for who should or shouldn’t read the book based on the subject), but she said,

“It doesn’t matter what kind of books you like or don’t like, anybody would like this book.”
