Why listen to Hunger Games?

If you know Tatiana Maslany’s screen work, you already know why she was an inspired choice for this material: she is a performer of many voices, and her narration gives Katniss’s first-person account a tense, close-to-the-skin quality that print cannot quite replicate. Eleven hours pass quickly when a story is built, as this one is, from escalating set pieces.Should you start here? Only if you have already read or heard the first book, because Catching Fire leans heavily on what came before. Conveniently, our catalogue also lists the opening novel under the deluxe edition of the series. This volume suits returning fans revisiting the story in a new voice, and dystopia lovers who want their rebellion with a pulse.

Clara’s verdict

Clara Whitmore

4.5/5

A 4.7 average across seventy four ratings leaves little room for doubt, and for once the data simply confirms my instincts. This is a modern classic given a genuinely fresh audio treatment, and the middle volume is where Collins’s trilogy shows its teeth. My only hesitation in awarding full marks is that a new recording of a beloved book always divides some longtime fans. Four and a half stars, confidently given.
