In a future North America, where the rulers of Panem maintain control through an annual televised survival competition pitting young people from each of the twelve districts against one another, sixteen-year-old Katniss's skills are put to the test when she voluntarily takes her younger sister's place.… (mais)
Kira: Battle Royale is more violent and lengthy but has a similar plot, with a class of children randomly selected each year to fight classmates to the death.
redpersephone: For adult or late teen fans, this has a female protagonist living in a dystopia where everyone has his or her own motives and secrets. Less gore, more sex.
FFortuna: The Handmaid's Tale is more adult, but really not by much. They're very similar dystopias and both feature excellent, deep-first-person narratives.
christmas6391: "Teenagers thrown into a hostile environment with no way out because of their corrupt societies," can be used to describe both of these books. The difference? In The Maze Runner, none of them remember anything before waking up in the maze.
BookLizard: The Hunger Games and Tomorrow, When the War Began have the same kind of feel - technically they're Science Fiction novels, but they feel more like survival stories with a bit of romance mixed in. I highly recommend both series.
Aerrin99: Both books feature central heroines living in dystopian worlds that aren't quite what they seem. They each have an engaging romance and a story that digs behind the curtain of the society their characters live in.
Jogos Vorazes é um bestseller inteligente, tenso, nodoso, convincente e levemente satírico. Como ação, como alegoria, a franquia de ficção científica pretendeu bater "the Matrix" e ¨Crepusculo¨. O enorme sucesso fez fortuna graças à escrita, à emoção e à execução, não apenas ao enorme marketing e (na telona) a enorme CGI . É, inclusive,aterrorizante. Mas The Hunger Games é mais notável pelos buracos nos quais não cai do que pelas grandes alturas que porventura atinja. Trata-se de uma elaboração futurista e politizada de The Most Dangerous Game - com mais gravidade . é leitura infanto-juvenil, digamos, para maiores de 12 anos e menores de 32, donde o risco de brilho estilístico foi cuidadosamente eliminado: ( )
Het verhaal, vertaald uit het Engels, speelt zich af in de toekomst. Na een burgeroorlog is van Noord-Amerika het land Panem overgebleven, bestaande uit het welvarende Capitool met twaalf daaraan ondergeschikte districten, waarin veel armoede en onvrijheid heersen. In de jaarlijkse Hongerspelen moeten 24 kinderen, uit elk district een jongen en een meisje, strijden op leven en dood in een ‘Big Brother’-omgeving. Katniss Everdeen (16, ik-figuur) uit het 12e, armoedigste district springt in de bres voor haar jongere zusje Prim wanneer deze wordt uitgeloot. Na een wat aarzelend begin krijgt het verhaal vaart in het tweede en derde deel. Het thema is gedurfd: een strijd op leven en dood tussen twaalf- en achttienjarigen, als vorm van vermaak. Wie is de slimste overlever? De auteur creëert een eigen begrippenkader dat zijdelings doet denken aan Harry Potter. Ze combineert overlevingstechnieken uit de traditie van Jean Auels prehistorische romans met ultramoderne technologie. Het slot lijkt voorspelbaar, maar is dat niet. Spanning, romantiek en het open einde maken de lezer nieuwsgierig naar het volgende boek in deze serie, 'De Hongerspelen II: vlammen'*.

She reaches in, digs her hand deep into the ball, and pulls out a slip of paper. The crowd draws in a collective breath and then you can hear a pin drop, and I’m feeling nauseous and so desperately hoping that it’s not me, that it’s not me, that it’s not me.
As long as you can find yourself, you'll never starve.
"Was that what was in his pack at the feast? Body armor to defend against my arrows? Well, they neglected to send a face guard."

I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go.
Koutkem oka vidím, jak mi Peeta podává ruku. Nejistě se na něj dívám. „Ještě jednou? Pro diváky?“ říká. Nemluví rozzlobeně. Jeho hlas zní prázdně, což je horší. Chlapec s chlebem už se mi vzdaluje. Beru jeho ruku do své, pevně se ho držím a připravuji se na kamery. Hrozím se chvíle, kdy ho konečně budu muset pustit.
