I’m glad to see that this book appeals to both girls and boys, cause, as you can read above, I’m a big fan! It’s a great story, well written, and definitely addictive!

I went to my facebook and twitter friends and asked if boys were reading these books. FB friends Lee and Leslie say boys are reading them in their public libraries. Leslie says they can’t keep the Hunger Games books on the shelf. Twitter friend Literary One says her son has read the books and passed them on to his friends. I talked to our Youth Services Consultant here at the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. She said boys are indeed reading them because of the adventure, and… because there are no girls on the cover! LOL FB friends Leslie and Lee agree that the cover art can be a deal breaker when recommending books to boys.

There you have it!

It is an excellent book. Many schools are buying it for required reading too.

There’s just enough action to keep the guys happy, and some romance is thrown in for the girls. All of the guys I know were very happy with this book, so I would say this is an excellent choice for any gender.

The point of view is that of a teenage girl, but there seems to be plenty of adventure and intrigue.

Do boys like The Hunger Games, or do they prefer something more graphic and violent like Battle Royale, which also features a similar and deadly reality game?

Does anybody out there know?
