About this listen

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.

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!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Featured Article: The 10 Best Dystopian Audiobooks with Unsettling Alternate Realities


Though the dystopian genre focuses on the world’s degeneration, these fantastical, exploratory, and poignant titles often have the power to reveal something significant about the world listeners live in now. No matter the dystopia conjured in a selection, their creators enable us to explore human nature and safely reflect on our own reality. Here are the 10 best dystopian audiobooks to transport, unsettle, and perhaps even inspire.

Editor's Pick

FWIW, I’m team Peeta Tatiana
"Somebody give Tatiana Maslany all the awards. The youthful yet somber quality to her voice makes her a natural Katniss, breathing new life into Panem. I devoured Maslany’s new recordings this summer, but I have to admit there’s something very different about listening to The Hunger Games as a 31-year-old mom vs. listening to it as a teenager myself. I cried from the first chapter onward, but it’s just a testament to the compelling nature of Collins’s dystopian modern classic. "

I haven’t read these books since they first came out but being a big fan of Orphan Black I decided to pick this one up. Tatiana Maslany brings a lot to the table here. It seems she’s talented in pretty much every way.
Something that bothered me about both the movie and the original audiobook (after reading the paperback) is that I felt as though Katniss was far too peppy and happy for somebody who’s gone through so much and worked so hard to survive. Tatiana brings some realism. They were scenes in this that affected me previously which had me in absolute tears this time. Worth a listen!

Tatiana brings something to the table

I enjoyed the movies, but the book was even better. plus Tatiana does an amazing job narrating. she puts a lot of passion and feeling into all of the characters. she really made the story come to life.

Awesome!

Narrating is a tough gig and it’s easy to be critical. Ms. Maslany has a pleasant voice, good cadence, and emotes well. However, the frequent whispering makes it difficult to listen on a speaker because I had to keep raising and lowering the volume, or rewind to catch what I missed. This might be more a production that performance issue, but it pulled me out of the story. Don’t overuse sotto voce.

Too much whispering

This is the version to buy. The reader sounds like Katniss. Hopefully, they will re-release the rest of this series with this reader.

Great reader
