If you have a Kindle, you can order this directly from your device. If you don't, you'll have to install Kindle software on your mobile phone or PC. You can use 'calibre' eBook software to convert it from Kindle .mobi format to .epub or another format if you want to read it with another type of eReader.

This appears to be a ONE DAY SALE so it will expire some time in the next twenty-four hours, based on whenever Amazon stop their one day sales.

People are probably fairly familiar with The Hunger Games from hearing about the movie, but I don't know too many people who've read the book. The books are much more descriptive and (in my opinion) much better than the movie. It is supposedly aimed at teenage readers, but I enjoyed it and even my grandmother quite enjoyed reading it. It's a good read if you like blood and guts, revenge stories, and don't want anything too brain-taxing.

It shares a few plot points with Battle Royale, but is quite different in execution. It's NOTHING like Twilight despuite the media continually comparing the two.

EDIT: This appears to be only the first book, not the trilogy. I misread the Amazon title, which says 'Trilogy' but means it's PART of the trilogy, not the entire trilogy. I do wish they'd write 'Part 1 of Trilogy' instead of just writing 'Trilogy' to save confusion.

    Unfortunately I don't think it's the entire trilogy, just the first book.

      Ahh, the title on Amazon's description was a bit misleading - Thanks for pointing that out. I'll edit it now.

      The library loans kindle books? Didn't think so.

        Actually libraries do loan digital books (not kindle versions though). Check out Overdrive.
        http://www.overdrive.com/software/omc/

        Melbourne Library service provides a digital lending device, Brisbane & Yarray Plenty library service have a digital library service. Hundreds of libraries around the world (provided you have a membership).

    Bought both the standard edition and the movie tie-in edition just to check there are no differences in the text.

      That was a pretty good deal! It was way back in March though.

      Yeah bought the trilogy then.

      Still haven't had the chance to read through them (+ lots of other free books on my kindle) :(

    The ending of the trilogy just made me devo, no cliche happy ending as always seen.
