Have you heard of the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins? If not, keep reading to find out more about why this series is so popular.
If so, you probably know that the much (MUCH) anticipated third and final book in the series — Mockingjay finally releases on Tuesday August 24?
Want a little sneak peak while you are waiting? Or to keep the high going after you’ve devoured book 3? Check out the Hunger Games Facebook page with fun polls, links to news items, reviews and contests, and fan discussions. If you are a Hunger Games fan, you have got to check it out.
So why the big deal? Let me backtrack a bit if you have not fallen into the craze. The Hunger Games is a Young Adult novel (YA) by Suzanne Collins that has found readers from upper elementary school well into adulthood. Parents are reading it with their teens, soccer moms are reading it with their bookclubs. It’s an intense futuristic, dystopian sci-fi/fantasy thriller. I have not talked to one person who read it who didn’t absolutely love it, even if that’s not normally a genre they enjoy. Case in point — 5 Minutes for Book reviewer Dawn. She usually likes character-driven women’s fiction. She enjoys thought-provoking contemporary novels that she can relate to. Read her review of the Hunger Games. And then inspired by Dawn, I got the audiobook and listened to it myself. You can read my thoughts on the Hunger Games, specifically from a mom’s perspective — because it is intense. If your child (or you) is sensitive to violence, you might want to skip it (though, seriously, I’ve not heard of one person who didn’t LOVE this book, no matter what they usually like).
Just about a year ago, the second installment came out. Catching Fire (linked to Dawn’s review at 5 Minutes for Books) furthered the story — and the love triangle — causing fans to resort to the Twilight-esque Team Gale or Team Peeta. I am going to have to wait to read Mockingjay to see if I am pleased with who she ends up with, because I just am not sure. But of course, there’s a Team Katniss for those who just don’t care who her love interest is.
And now, August 24 brings us Mockingjay. Here’s the summary: Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she’s made it out of the bloody arena alive, she’s still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what’s worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss’s family, not her friends, not the people of District 12. Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final installment of Suzanne Collins’s groundbreaking The Hunger Games trilogy promises to be one of the most talked about books of the year.
Now some of you might not care about the Hunger Games (but maybe I’ve convinced you to check it out? Maybe?). But you saw “Ipod Touch giveaway” in the title, and that’s okay. We have a fantastic prize package to offer one of you (U.S. addresses only).
We have an 8GB Ipod Touch with a very limited Mockingjay emblem on the back (U.S. residents only), and a copy of the Mockingjay book. Just leave a comment to enter. We’ll announce the winners on September 6.
The winner’s of our previous giveaway, for the School Days Memory Book is #1 Sarah. The DK Science Books for Kids giveaway is still open.
Book Blogger Jennifer Donovan loves reading YA fiction, adult fiction, and memoir, and that is primarily what she reviews at 5 Minutes for Books. She captures her family’s life in Connecticut at Snapshot.

mindy says
I almost purchased this book the other day. My son said, MOM THAT IS A KIDS BOOK! and then added, CAN I READ IT WHEN YOU ARE DONE? ha! Hard to get a 13 year old boy to read…we decided to see if we could be frugal and borrow it from the library instead…but cannot wait to catch up on the series that everyone is talking about!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Susan says
I work in an independent bookstore and read as much as is possible including (but not limited to) teen fiction. I read Hunger Games and Catching Fire and recommend them to teens and adults. I began reading Mockingjay but then gave my copy away and am waiting for another to come into the store. I agree with some of the reviews which state that the third book makes this series more than just a futuristic teen romance. Elevates the entire series to a higher plane and the books were already pretty good!
Haley says
i have to say…i’m not sure which book from the series i like the most . i haven’t finished mockingjay yet though
Alyssa Ramsey says
Hello Mrs. Donovan! It’s Alyssa! I have been keeping in touch with Amanda ever since you guys moved away to Conetticut… if that is how you spell it… I am sure that I did not spell it right. But, Amanda emailed me and told me that you are doing this giveaway and my little sister Samantha has been saving up for one for about a year now, and still does not have enough. So I thought it would be cool to enter so I could win one for her. 🙂 Well, glad to see that you are having a great life in CT! It would be soooo cool if you and Amanda came to Texas sometime soon! 🙂 That would be really fun! 🙂 Talk to you later!
Haley says

We’re convinced! We’re convinced! Ilsa loved Collins’ other series, Gregor the Overlander. She is dying to read these books. (Someone gave her the 2nd and we’re holding out waiting for the 1st, on hold at the library) She also lost her tiny iPod (what are they called?) and is very sad about that. So I hope I’ve convinced the Random Number Generator of our worthiness 😉 And I hope we win. Cuz she would be Over. The. Moon.

mrsshukra says
Thanks for the opportunity to enter!!!
RefreshMom says
Funny, but after Twitter was all a-twitter about Mockingjay yesterday, I picked up a copy while the fam browsed at Barnes and Noble. I’m not a fan of violence in books so I wasn’t interested in reading the series (and there isn’t any at all in the first few chapters), but I have to say it does draw you in right from the start. Am undecided about reading the rest of it, but I can see why it’s so popular. (And just from reading the first couple of chapters I finally have a context for so many cultural references I’ve seen. That’s a plus!)
Dawn says
I keep hearing about this book *everywhere* this week – maybe I’ll have to actually try reading them (not my genre, forsure, but sounds like everyone likes it…). I do have a US address, thanks!
Florence says
You got me, I did not have any idea about this. I saw Ipod and everything else went blank. Hey, when I win, then I’ll know more, 😉

I love, love, love those books. My friend got me a mockingjay pin that I wear on my jacket! But I would feel even cooler and motivated to workout more if I had Ipod and then every one could see my love for the books.

Maura A says
Thank you for a helpful review. I have not read this series but I’m always looking for literature to introduce to my two pre-teens to encourage them to read — and read quality fiction. It’s rare to find gripping stories that appeal to such a wide age range (the “Harry Potter” series, but very little else, comes to mind).
Jessica says
I am anxiously awaiting the last chapter in the Hunger Games trilogy. I had no idea where the series could possibly go after the ending of book 1, but after Catching Fire, I put my full trust in Suzanne Collins to give us a spectacular finish.
debra b says

Oh the things Katniss could have done with an Ipod Touch! Update her Facebook status, “@prim everdeen: what’s the best way to tie a tournequet??” Secretly listen to sappy love songs on her playlist as she mulls over Peeta and Gale (obviously leaning towards Peeta). Or maybe wind down after a hectic day of dodging flamethrowers by playing some relaxing games, like Frogger, who she oddly feels a connection to… Poor Katniss didn’t have this luxury in the Games. But I would be happy to accept it on her behalf! 🙂

ibeeeg says
I am so looking forward to Mockingjay! I loved Hunger Games, and thought Catching Fire was so-so…I know, I am in the minority on that one, but even so…I am looking forward to Mockingjay. I am going to be posting a buddy review of Catching Fire that my friend and I are working on, and once we are done with Mockingjay…another buddy review. I like doing reviews with her because we talk so much about books anyway.
Ooops…talking about my excitement, almost forgot to mention that my older girls are very excited as well, and I do believe that my most avid reader, my 11-year old, is ready to start the series. So yeah, the house is buzzing.
As far as the IPod Touch goes….this item has made it to my list of wants just recently as I just downsized our cell phone plane to only phone calls, and text messages (with teenagers, text messaging is a must). Hopefully I win. 😀 crossing my fingers… 😀
gretchen says
