Summary
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.

I have read all the books, and I have seen the movies as well ( both really great in my opinion) . I recently purchased all of the audio books to listen to at work to make the time go by - and I must say i was NOT disappointed. The Narration was spot on, I loved Tatiana Maslany. The emotion and grit she had made you feel like you were really listening to Katniss. She even sounds SO much like her, too. It was well done.

I am rereading this book, or listening rather, for a course at my University. It is really amazing being able to appreciate how well this was put together. I'm only on chapter 19 now but I'm already loving reliving it all and learning things I didn't before.

This is one of my go-to series, I've read this more times than I can count. Great concept, great writing & wonderful narration.

Profile Avatar HollyVHutch Sep 2025

This is one of my favorite books and the narrator does an incredible job of bringing it to life. The pacing of her speech is so natural and engaging. She really manages to capture the complex emotions of the story in her narration. A narrator can really make or break an audiobook and you couldn't ask for a better one for this book.

Amazing

Profile Avatar Jennifer B. Apr 2024

Fantastic narration. Suzanne‘s voice is similiar to the voice of Katness in the movies, which helps but the emotions, the different voices of the people were done fantasticly. The story is so capturing, all I wanted to fo the last few weeks is listen to those books. The movie seems to be made more for a younger audience but the books don‘t spare you from the horrific reality in this dystopian future!

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2023

One of my very favorite series. And of course the book is better than the movie. It includes so much that the movie didn't have time for. I'm so happy I'm so happy that audio books.com had these titles.

an Amazing series!!! Kept me hooked the whole time

Profile Avatar Uteh Jan 2022

I like the book alot. To be honest i expected it to be better than the movie but i dont think it is. Now it does give a different perspective which you cant see in the movie which is pretty interesting. I dont quite like the peta voice but its alright, worth a listen for sure! I heard book 2 is better so cant wait to listen to that!

in a word:EXCELENTE GRACIAS

Profile Avatar Delphi May 2026

Great book, loved it!!! There are many books I like but the ones like this one always catch's my interest and then I can't stop either reading or listening to them. There was so many twists that I was not expecting, but they made the story so much better. It always happens to me like this someone recommends me a book And it takes me a few more months to actually read them then I get pulled in to it and I am always wanting more. This is what happened to me with the hunger games. I usually use Libby to read books then find the books here. And as soon as I started to read the hunger games I just had to borrow the other ones so I would not have to wait to get them. And in this particular story it feels as if it will never end but as all story's go it will have to end. Right now I am on the half way through the 2nd book and the whole story put together is astonishing.

Profile Avatar Daisy W. Mar 2026

This book stands so well both as a starting point for a franchise, but also as a stand alone Dystopian story. Well written, well paced, excellently read! One of my favourites

The narrator did a phenomenal job.

This isn’t just an audiobook reading, this is voice acting at its best. Tatiana Maslany is possibly the best narrator I’ve heard yet in any audiobook.
