I have not watched the movie. And I feel like I don't need to. Because the book is so amazing, and beautiful. Suzanne Collins is super descriptive in the book. Yes it may not be super kid-friendly. Because it has some romance in it, but I did read it and I am about 10-11 years old. But it is such a good book. I highly reccamend this book to (at least) 9 year olds. And UP!

Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Collins delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in this searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.

For those who aren't freaked out by killing and ruthless murder, go ahead and be my guest to read this book, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. For those who are freaked out by killing and murder, don't read this book.
Definitely my fave book of the series. I was hooked - finished this one in under a day!

Its a good book over all, but it gets a bit too romantic... Peeta and Katniss become idiotic love birds
book better than movie
I read this. SO good... and kinda weird.
Best book and movie evah
What is your favorite part. I don't know what my favorite part was I loved the whole thing. It was so gross but at the same time awesome.
The Hunger Games Series is amazing. A MUST READ!! I cried, laughed, and felt exactly what Katniss was feeling. The movie was just as good. Jennifer Lawrence was amazing in it. READ!!!
I have never read this book. But i have seen the movie and would really want to have the book series. If anyone has the book serise please tell me if it was good or not. Thanks Rampage
Awesome! i didn't see the movie but read the books and i loved it. the beginning might be a bit boring for you but plz read it. ( i don't have the series, but last year, most of my classmates went nuts and brought the books, mockingjay pin, posters, watched the movie and one classmate was so crazy about it that
they dressed up as katniss, got the arrow thingy, wore the pin and kept on talking about it. she got the gloves, wore all black, like thats how crazy my class was about it). warning : some romance ( did that have to be a part in the book?) and killing and weapons mentioned in all books.
