Emmy Award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany narrates a brand-new special edition recording of the first audiobook in the worldwide best-selling 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 12 outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Awesome performance, great story
Reviewed: 03-12-24
I don’t like all the bad and sad things that happen in this book, but I still highly recommend reading it. The performance is great, the storyline interesting, and overall a great read that leaves the reader coming back for more.

Spoiler alert: Serious Black dies. I can barely stand this book, yet I still love it. Get ready to cry your eyes out if you listen to this book—but it all ends on a positive note.

The time has come for one winner to be crowned. When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown - or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose - and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.

Surprising yet predictable
Reviewed: 02-14-21
I like the Selection series, despite a horrible narration (sorry Ms. Rubinate). The storyline is a bit predictable, though somehow it still hooks me in enough to have purchased the audiobooks so I can listen to them as many times as I like. Even though I don’t like the performance, I had to give it 5 stars because it doesn’t stop me from listening.

The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!

Spoiler alert: a student from Hogwarts dies in this book. Voldemort gets a new body of his own. From here to the end of the series the books wind up in intense darkness and peril. The only reason I can stand listening to these books is due to Rowling inserting humor to lighten up the story line. Dale is excellent at reading as well. I’d recommend definitely, if you are up for an adventure.

Ever since the first listen of the first book I’ve been hooked on the Harry Potter series. This book is no exception. I honestly can’t get enough listening in to these , they are so beautifully read and the story line is so interesting.

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

I ❤️ Harry Potter
Reviewed: 01-19-21
I had heard of the Harry Potter series and, before listening to the books for myself, thought they must be pure evil! They are anything but. The truth of the matter is I got my Audible account opened because I had listened to the whole series on my library app last year, loved them all and wanted to listen again, but did not want to wait for months to hear them so I bought them all on Audible my first month. I don’t get tired of listening to these books.

Reviewed: 01-01-21
For any Harry Potter fans or even if you aren’t, these fairytales are quite interesting. I thought the performance well done. The only disappointing thing about this audiobook is how quickly it’s over, but it’s great for a quick listen.
