About this audiobook

Emmy Award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany narrates a brand-new special edition recording of the first audiobook in the worldwide bestselling 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 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.

 

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

Ratings and reviews

Just because someone is a good actor does NOT mean they're suited for narration of an audiobook. Frankly this narration ruins the book and the fact that this so called "special edition" replaced the INCREDIBLE performance of Carolyn McCormick is insulting. This is one of my favorite book series, but I will actively go out of my way to tell people not to bother with the "special edition" audiobooks because the narration is so godawful. Either see if you can find access to the original recordings, or read the books. Don't waste your time or money on this terrible performance.

Tatiana Maslany does such a boring reading, I’m not sure the reviews saying how great she is are real people. Original narrator was so much better.

i loved loved the orignal audiobooks because of the narrator, i am really picky about who i listen to and the special edition is trash. i am angry that we can not get the original
