    About this audiobook

    Emmy Award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany narrates a special edition recording of the first audiobook in the worldwide best-selling trilogy from Suzanne Collins!

    In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 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.

    This special edition audiobook includes a bonus track Q&A with Tatiana Maslany!

    Editor's Note

    Cultural fire…

    Equipped with only a bow and a heart of gold, Katniss Everdeen caught cultural fire, igniting the rebel in us all. A brilliant, action-packed social commentary on media manipulation that defines the dystopian YA genre.

      Loved!!! I watched the movies first and then read the books. Most times I like to do the opposite, but I’m this case, I am happy I watched the movies first because I can visually see what was happening while listening. There were a little more additions in the book which I loved.

      It's great! The narrator does a really fantastic job! She actually sounds like Jennifer Lawrence a little which immerses me even more into the story.

      Tatiana Maslany is so great in this! She truly gives emotion to each scene and thought. One of my favorite books that I've read a bunch on my own and wanted a familiar book to listen to while I worked, then I saw who was reading it, and loving Orphan Black, I jumped at the chance to hear one of my favorites read to me by such an amazing actress. She lived up to all my hopes for this book coming to life. Thank you!

      The voice actress they chose for this reading is a lot better than the one they chose for the original one. she has more emotion and adds more feel to the book as she reads. This was my 4th time listening/reading it and it still takes me away and makes me tear up. I would love to see the other two books done with the same narrator as this one.

      Tatiana Maslany narrated this HARD. My favorite part was when she changed her voice per character dialogue. So fun to hear. Goosebumps tho

      The Hunger Games is already such classic, paired with Tatiana Maslany's narration this audiobook is masterful.

      I’ve loved this book so much since I read it. And the fact that it is narrated by the one and only Tatiana Maslany just contributes to enrich the whole experience.

      The original narrator was better. I wish we had a choice of which version we could listen to.

      Rereading this book was such an exhilarating experience!!! I’m rereading the Hunger Games trilogy to prepare for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Listening to the books definitely upped the experience! I really loved the narrator’s voice and how she differentiated each character. She did a fantastic job. I’m so glad I opted to listen instead of reading it on my Kindle. (No offense to my kindle).

      I will leave off with saying this: rereading this series as an adult has definitely provided me with a different perspective compared to when I first read the books in my early 20s.

      Can’t wait to start Catching Fire!

      The books are amazing! Doing a reread currently listening to the audiobooks this time around, but the narrator is just not it.
      She sighs too often and has too many pauses that don't make sense, I have the book sped up a bit so it's not as bad, but the narrator just make sure hard to want to keep listening to the book.

      I’ve read this book several times & wanted to read them again. However, now I’m an audiobook junkie and so this was the first time on audio. I’ve listened to numerous audiobooks & so far, this is THE BEST Narrator! I’m so happy the audiobook turned out to be a pleasurable experience! The narrator doesn’t just read monotonously but invokes emotions as if living the movie herself! LOVE ITTTTTTT!

      The Hunger Games is an incredible and impactful story, and to be able to listen to it, to hear Katniss come to life in a different more internal way was amazing.

      I’ve read this book numerous times in print because it’s one of my favorites.
      Listening to it, though, is a whole other experience and the narrator blows it away! Bringing life to the characters through slight changes in inflection, excitement to tense moments through perfect use of speed and emphasis - parts of the reading almost had me in tears (Rue’s death!) and I’ve not ever teared up while reading it. Absolutely fantastic!

      I genuinely liked the movie, how ever there is always something missing in a book which was in the book. It made me enjoy this story twice over. :)

      I love that its a book about a young girl that doesn't let anyone define who she is and makes her own choices even when they are difficult these book grabs your attention from the very beginning.
