1. The 'battle to the death' competition from the Hunger Games book trilogy by Suzanne Collins. The basic premiss is that all that is left of America is a wealthy 'Capitol' surrounded by the 12 'districts'. The Hunger Games see a male and female, teenage 'tribute' from each of the districts battle until only one survives.
2. The event itself as seen in the books and films. Also referred to as just 'the Games'.
3. Now also in use as a description for any fiercely competitive/violent event.

1. I love the Hunger Games books.
2. You should have seen the beauty pageant contestants backstage, it was like the Hunger Games in there!
3. When he and his siblings fall out, it's like he's holding the Hunger Games in his house.

Get the Hunger Gamesmug. An emotionally changing movie and book. If you've seen/read any of The Hunger Games you'll at least understand where I'm coming from, if you haven't seen The Hunger Games or read it get down to the nearest book shop or library makes sure you read it before you watch it. If you want to see The Hunger Games you can buy it of the internet or watch it on Netflix.

OMG SO YOU HAV 2 KNO ABT THIS. the hunger games is like a book serie dat is abt a grl hu haz 2 kill da ppl in da "hunger games" its like a draft from da EVIL GOVERMENT and she is 1 of dem. so den she kills a bunch of ppl and meats a kute boi <3 namd pita and dey luvs eachothr but deys gotta kill echothr. so u hav 2 reed da 3rd bk 2 find, but nvm.
That's how a teenage girl would describe this shit series. Basically, the hunger games is the newest fad shit book for fucktarded kids with no taste. It takes the trite "fight to the death" tournament trope and throws in a sappy romance to wet the privates of teenage girls. Avoid. But you already knew that, didn't you?

Get the Hunger Gamesmug. Book series and film basically just a rip off of the Japanese novel, manga and film of Battle Royale. However has less fighting, gore and story replaced with a love triangle that Twilight would be happy with.
Battle Royale Rip off
Battle Royale Rip off

Me: 'Oh you mean that rip off of Battle Royale?'
Friend: '...'

Get the Hunger Gamesmug. A book series written by Suzanne Collins. It completely rips off of "Battle Royale", a book by Japanese author Koushun Takami that was written over a decade before The Hunger Games. There were also two film adaptations of Battle Royale and a spin-off manga. Both books involve teenagers being forced to kill each other by the government.
The Hunger Games is very poorly written. Its biggest mistake is that it is written in 1st person, so one knows exactly how it ends the second one starts to read it. Suzanne Collins avoids showing the violence that takes place in her novel, usually implying deaths rather than showing them. This is because her target audience is teenage girls.
The protagonist, Katniss, is very unintelligent and has the same problem as all other female protagonists in modern teen fiction- she is in love with two guys and the main focus of the book is which one she chooses. This is the most important thing in the book- it doesn't matter that people are trying to kill Katniss, or that she lives in a world ruled by an oppressive government, or that her family is poor or that a rebellion is being started- the only thing important to her is choosing between these two guys. Everything else takes the back seat.
Essentially, The Hunger Games fails in every area that Battle Royal succeeds.

Teenage girl: OMG have u read The Hunger Games???/?? itz the best book EVR <33333
Me: Yes, and I found it to be very poorly written. It was a blatant rip-off of Battle Royale and the main character was quite stupid, as she was more concerned with finding a boyfriend than she was with saving her own life.
Teenage girl: no ur wrong itz amazinggggg!!1!!11! #Team Peeta <3
*goes back to listening to Ke$ha and worshiping Paris Hilton*
Me: This world is hopeless.
