Bookseller recommendation

“I just recently went through a deep dive reread of ALL The Hunger Games books (yes, in 2024!) and WOW do they still hold up! Do I remember loving them? Absolutely yes. Do I remember feeling inspired to overthrow the government? Also yes. But what I forgot, or maybe didn't fully understand at the time I first read them, was how delicately and accurately these books represent oppression, effects of capitalism, wealth disparity, what rebellion can look like and how it is born. If you read The Hunger Games when you were younger, this is your sign to reread them! It will be worth it! This was my first experience listening them via audiobooks and I absolutely loved the narrator, she encapsulates Katniss and her emotions oh so well. ”

Summary
About the author

#8 in Bestselling YA Fiction Audiobooks

This Special Edition of The Hunger Games includes the most extensive interview Suzanne Collins has given since the publication of The Hunger Games; an absorbing behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the series; and an engaging archival conversation between Suzanne Collins and YA legend Walter Dean Myers on writing about war. The Special Edition answers many questions fans have had over the years, and gives great insight into the creation of this era-defining work.

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 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 regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to death before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Still, if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
