So much better than the movie.
I loved the insight to Katniss’ thoughts and feelings throughout the games. Katniss is such a strong female lead character, that I love with all my heart. Every chapter was left on a cliff hanger making me want to read on. This was a great read and I can’t wait to read the others.

Katniss is an amazing main character: a very strong female role model, selfless, sensitive... even her naiveness is very relatable. She was forced to grow fast and had a very hard life - losing her father and with a mother destroyed by grief she was the only one who could provide for her sister and from that point on Prim is the only reason why she wants to live.
I love this book because shows that love can be the force that changes lives, even in the most complete chaos and brutality the ones we love can make a difference between giving up and fight a little longer.

This book was very interesting, and it did a good job at holding that interest. The audience never knows more than Katniss does, though if you've seen the movies or have been spoiled on what happens, then that doesn't really apply. There were details left out of the movies (as there are with every book-to-film adaptation) that made Panem feel more like a real world, as well as more details in regards to characters. I wanted to know a little more about the other tributes, and the book gave me a little bit of that.
Also, I'm a much bigger fan of Peeta in the books (so far) than the movies. He is not at all the kind of guy you would imagine
Spoiler
winning the gamesMy only complaint is that the pacing was a bit too fast for my tastes, but it makes sense given how focused on action the book is.

This is a book about children from ages 12-18 being forced to kill each other in an enclosed arena for their nation's "entertainment," more-so as a reminder of the power their government holds.Spoiler
All but 2 of these children die, the survivors both being around 16. The main death that is gone into detail about, and sticks, is that of a 12 year old girl.lyla_wicks's review against another edition
