Great story. Was hooked from the start. I listen to it at work and read it at home, just simply couldnt put it down.

Great story that kept me on the edge of my seat. If I could have listened to it alll at the same time I would have!

yes!

i couldn't wait to listen. I loved the characters. the surprises. Such an amazing and exciting story. Narrator was ok, but she was annoying with the way she said Squirrel and Alive. She was too old to play Katniss and after the 3rd book in the series, I found her portrayal of Katniss made me almost want to kill Katniss myself.

But the story was great.

CHILLING, THOUGHT-PROVOKING, SURVIVOR

Without spoiling the story for you, the one I can tell you is when the main character takes her younger sister's place when her name is drawn to be in the Hunger Game that year. This

When the heroine of the story lets down her guard and makes some alliances. She was not one to trust others, yet in this dangerous environment, she found she needed to have help to survive. In one case, she worked hard to save the life of another more than once. There were some interesting twists and turns in the plot and she figured out how to outsmart her enemies in clever ways!

Her tender treatment of her first ally after she was killed by one of the enemies. This was never done in these games. It was another way she decided to show up the people in charge of the games...and put a human face to what was normally something very vicious.

This was a great story with interesting characters but the concept was very chilling. It is not the genre of book I normally read. I don't like futuristic books. This one came across more ordinary in many ways...just scary. It was closer to what we have only 50 yrs. or so in the future. There were too many aspects of this story that made it quite chilling. I'm not sure I want to see a movie of it. I think it would be too scary to see it in living color even though it wasn't as gory as it could have been!

I enjoyed hearing it on Audible. I could close my eyes and listen or listen to it while I was ironing or doing other things around the house.

I really enjoyed the story and I am waiting with anticipation to see the movie. However, I did not care for the narrator of this story, something about the way she spoke as the younger children just irritated me. I only wish I had had the time to read the novel for myself but thank you audible for making available for all to enjoy no matter how hectic our lives are!

I would not listen to it again only because I want to use the time to listen to something new.

Katniss, of course. She is so young and naive, so unaware of her innate stength, and who she is and who she could become.

My favorite scene is one of the earliest scenes, where she volunteers to be tribute in place of her beloved younger sister.

This book had the same effect on me as when I read about the Romans and the Gladiaters facing lions in the arena.

This book is thought provoking and captivating. I was almost angry though at the ending, very let down! Until I found a book review online and discovered it was the first in a trilogy. Should have realized that the

Story and writing is good. I found myself listening for hours. The reader is a bit slow so I listened on 1.5x speed all throughout the book.

Yes. It was entertaining from start to end. I loved it, and I think everyone would.

I liked that it came from the view of the lead character. It was obviously fiction, but was mostly a believable tale.

Carolyn had a strong voice, and I always knew which character she was speaking for.

I did shed a few tears when she sang a song while one of the characters were dying.

I chose this book based on the movie preview. The books are so amazing, I listened to all three in one week. I was so engaged the books had me laughing, crying and rooting for every character. Heck I was even talking back to the audio! I'm IN LOVE!!!

I would recommend this to anyone. I actually got it for my son for school, but I got caught up in it and loved it. I can't wait to read Catching Fire now.
