Publisher's Summary

Emmy Award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany narrates a brand-new 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!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Tatiana Maslany narrator review

I found when the narrator used males voices in particular she lost alot of the experession in her voice. This left emotional moments a little under whelming.

Superb narration.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Tatiana Maslany’s narration is the best I've heard for an audiobook. She seamlessly switches between characters, and even perfectly created flashbacks, capturing the same inflection of the original reading, while tailoring it to fit the new context.

Absolutely fantastic

I’m a decade late to The Hunger Games series. I’ve only just listened to all the audiobooks and I am absolutely blown away by the quality of writing and of the spectacular narration. Although dark, it is absolutely absorbing. It has been such a thrill to be immersed in this fictional world. Titiana Maslany does an incredible job at the narration. Each character is so clearly painted in her voices. I only wish I had tried this series sooner.

THE BEST OF THE WHOLE SERIES

this book is really something special to me and I believe it revokes the assumption of “is the entertainment we consume ethical and worth our time and lives”

The girl ON fire

The book is amazing and I loved listening to it but one thing that bothered me was that it says the girl who was on fire instead of the girl on fire. I just sounds better. I wrote a full review but I can’t find it, it was abt cinna being my favourite and how sad it was that rue died and how great full I was for thresh saving katniss but idk

Incredibly entertaining

I loved this book. The thought process of an individual under such duress, the constant questioning of her surroundings and situation, was riveting.

The Hunger Games

By far the most enjoyable and captivating book I have listened to so far on Audible. I don't regret buying it and was sad it had to come to an end.
