The Hunger Games

The acclaimed author of the "New York Times"-bestselling Underland Chronicles series delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in a stunning novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to the present."Forget Edward and Jacob: by book's end (and it's a cliffhanger), readers will be picking sides--Peeta or Gale?" 06/22/2009

"Beyond the expert world building, the acute social commentary and the large cast of fully realized characters, there's action, intrigue, romance and some amount of hope in a story readers will find completely engrossing." 07/01/2009

"Though more of the story takes place outside the arena than within, this sequel has enough action to please HUNGER GAMES fans and leaves enough questions tantalizingly unanswered for readers to be desperate for the next installment." 09/01/2009

"Collins has done that rare thing. She has written a sequel that improves upon the first book." - Gabrielle Zevin 10/11/2009
