Absolutely Amazing!
Do I really have to review the Hunger Games? Come on. It's one of the best series out there, if not the best! I had read the HG series on paperbacks. But, I fell in love with it and I knew I had to get the hardcovers.Coming to the quality of the books. The covers are beautiful! The dust jacket has those texture on the titles and on the mockingjay bird. The mockingjay is engraved on the actual cover, which adds to the aesthetic of the book. The pages are good and the binding is really strong. If you want to collect, you got to get this one. This one should be on every book enthusiast's shelf.P.S. The best part, this is the FIRST EDITION. Yes! This is the first one!As always, Happy Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favor!

A Relatable Story
This book is a must read for the fans of divergent and maze runner.....it focuses on totalitarian dictatorship, a facet that that was prevalent in the past few centuries. It will definitely not fail to instil a deep impression on the minds of the readers and leave them wondering about the dystopia which we are living in.

Okay condition for a used book. Wrong cover art.
The book covers of one of the trilogy (Hunger Games #1) was different from what was promised in pictures (and I am someone who thinks highly of their aesthetic values).Haven't found any binding issues or pen marks so I am happy there, even though I expected a bit more from Amazon's description of "Used - Like New".There was no box but that's fine as it was mentioned beforehand.

This is not what i had expected.
The first book seems to be of a lower quality print! The paper and the print quality are abysmal! It looks like they changed out the first book to a cheap one to cut costs. Also, the box in which it was put was a flimsy paper one.

Excellent books, Satisfactory packaging
The BooksI loved the books and actually finished them all within a week just because I couldn't stop reading. Everyone must read it once in their lives but once is not enough. Hats off to Suzanne Collins. I have recommended the books to my friends and not one of them took longer than a week.The Packaging I was a bit taken back by the satisfactory packaging. But, they were still in a condition to be read although they box was completely destroyed. I wonder how it made it to my place.

Great Series
The books are all very intense and fast paced. It is very different from similar books talking about oppressed people in as much as the choice of methods used to combat such oppression. And it is presented in a manner that even young readers can relate to.

I haven't even read these books but they get 5 stars. How?
These books were bought for my 13 yo daughter who I am trying to encourage to read more. She asked me to buy her 'Hunger Games' so after looking on Amazon I thought I would buy her the trilogy as it seemed more economical.Well she is clearly getting well into the first book 'hunger games' and is reading much more without me having to make 'suggestions' that perhaps she should read. Hopefully these will be the books that give her the reading 'bug'. Will update this review later but looking good so far!

Three great, absorbing stories which
Three great, absorbing stories which, despite being written for a teen plus readership, stand up as an adult read. They made economy class flights to Australia and back bearable, especially as you can then watch the first two as movies (the books are better!). Katniss Everdeen is a convincing character, though more might perhaps have been made of how the traumas she endures shape her as a person. Her inability to choose between the two people who love her, and to whom she owes her life, runs through all three books, as the greater theme of an uprising against a totalitarian regime unfolds. To me she seemed rather lacking in feeling for them both - I know she has suffered terribly, but, had I been writing this, I would have wanted her to be more tormented either by her strength of feeling for both of them, or by her knowledge of her own emotional disability, in her inability to feel more intensely for either of them.The Hunger Games themselves are a chillingly convincing method of subjugation, and are very well done.

They're books, what more is there to say?
Good quality books and case thingy.I watched the films (on release) and, initially, enjoyed them. Then read these books and watched the films again. The books are much better than the films. The films are actually quite poor in comparison.The story is, in general, quite good. Katniss gets a bit annoying towards the end because she never seems to grow out of her 'whiny teen' stage despite all the things she goes through, you'd think she'd grow up a bit but nevermind.The prequel story/film should be interesting...

Wow!... better late than never...
I cannot remember exactly who first drew my attention to "the Hunger Games".... some friend I think it may be when the first film came out??... anyway, I poo-pah-ed it.... based on no more than it "seeming" to be some teen-flick romance type film...probably not my "cup-of-tea"... and then i watched the film for the first time a week ago.... and was blown away!.... Im not even sure exactly why?... so, encouraged, I watched Catching Fire.... now Im fully gripped, drawn in and cannot wait to see the next installment....and now to the book.... do I need to read it??.... well, I "kindled" the trilogy and have just finished reading the first book...oh wow, what a truly brilliant story (despite having watched the film(s).... I have never read a story that has been written fully from the perspective of the lead character...its quite intriguing, its riveting, its extrodinarily beautiful.... I love it.All I am really trying to say here that MAY be useful to anyone is regardless of watching films, do try to read the books...ok, I havnt hit the last two books yet but somehow... i know.. I wont be disappointed."May the odds be forever in your favour....." >:)

A very human dystopia with a satisfying and realistic ending
I really surprised myself by enjoying this so much. Dystopias aren't my thing, usually, but this felt so well put together. Oddly, it made me want to go and read about the Cold War when I finished, because I have a feeling thats what the Panem/13 feud is based off. The final book of the triology is so much better than the films. And there's so much humanity and tiny points in the horror where you can laugh at the little details of how ridiculous people can be - a stylist in the middle of a warzone weeping over a skirt because "its been so long since I last saw something pretty."
