There is definitely violence. It is war. In the hunger games the goal is to kill all 23 tributes until you're the last one standing. The alternative is death. As a result you witness a lot of that while reading this book. You can either kill or be killed. They are set in bloody times and you might wince at an injury description, but the books really are works of art!readwithsophsx's review against another edition

I watched the movies before reading the books and I can’t say it didn’t influence my reading experience. I definitely would have enjoyed it much more if I hadn’t known the story, but it was still very entertaining and I got through this first book in a couple evenings. Despite me knowing the major plot points, the story still had me hooked and it was interesting to see Katniss’ thoughts.
It’s a really solid book, one that has undeniably influenced many aspects of our 21st century media. Personally, I thought this was great, but I’m not obsessed with it like I might have been if teenage me had read this going in completely blind.
