Both my sweetheart and I blew through this book in a day and a half. We were both enthralled, which is saying something for a book billed as a young adult novel.

I'm surprised this book and the sequel haven't picked up more steam with the general public. I only came across it when a different author referenced it in her blog.

This is a book that deserves to be widely read.

Great concept! Can't wait for the sequel. Adults, boys and girls alike will enjoy this book.

This author raises some interesting thoughts about what a futuristic one world government would be like and the impact that might have on individual freedoms. This futuristic society is a case of calling evil good and good evil. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment.

I love this book, and can't wait till the next one comes out in Sept.

I was able to download it but was never able to listen or read it not sure why wish i could redownload it to my tablet but it will not let me do it again

Good narrator and moved quickly, but this is really a book for teens. Not literature. Not plausible science fiction that adults could appreciate.

Nothing could have made this a better listening experience. The overall topic and story of the book is appalling and disappointing.

Next, I will be listening to Lost in Time by Melissa De La Cruz.

I rarely choose a book based on it's narrator.

There are no redeeming qualities for an author, or a story, that pits innocent children against each other to the death for entertainment.

The entire concept of this book is contradictory. The author creates characters who hate the fact that, as children, they are forced to ruthlessly, shamelessly, murder each other for the entertainment of the masses. The people of the story despise the practice and yet there is underlying revelry for it. The general public encourage the appalling and disgusting tradition by watching it, gambling on it, even sponsoring it. It makes me ill that in our real world, people spend their hard earned money doing exactly the same thing by purchasing this book, or watching it's namesake film. I regret the money I spent on this book, and wish I could go back in time to undo that decision. I do not, can not, and will not ever condone any person financially benefitting from child murder. Anyone who purchases this book should be ashamed of themselves for encouraging this sick minded author to write such atrocities.

Suzanne Collins is brilliant. Her imagination is out of this world!!!

The creativity of the author and the discription of everything made it so easy for me to get a mental picture of the world, people, animals, everthing.

When Roo and Katniss decided to become allies.

I felt every emotion possible with this book. laughed, cried, felt it all.

This book was so amazing!!! It is now my favorite of all time.

Yes... the characters are right on and belivable in this setting. Susanne does a great job at keeping the emotions and reactions age appropriate.

The story line is what drew me in... and it did not dissapoint me

She was great... a good differentiation between characters and always spot on with the emotions. Her pace was not too hurried and she did not wain twords the end. Good job!!

Although I felt this book was written for a younger aged reader... I found it quite compelling and bridged that gap quite well
