one note: i think katniss is genuinely in love with peeta by the end, but is too emotionally constipated from childhood trauma to be able to recognize that or admit it to herself. the moment peeta realizes and she tries to say it wasn't all pretend feels very heath ledger in "10 things i hate about you" and her inability to untangle that web or real-or-pretend she created in the arena feels so heartbreaking when you remember the fact that, at the end of everything, katniss is a child.

The Hunger Games franchise will always have a special place in my heart. I was introduced to it by my mother and my aunt. I remember sitting in the living room watching the movies with them years ago. Though I have made previous attempts to do so, this is my first fully independent read of the book. The film does it justice, but there's just something about this world that takes to pen and paper more than the screen. It's lush and well-built. It feels alive. Katniss' character is masterfully crafted. Down to Collins' word choice, we are fully pulled—no, dragged—into the world of Panem head-first; its desolation, hopelessness, glamors and all. I could write an essay on all of it. I felt genuinely horrified in Part Three, especially during the last few chapters that took place in the arena. I was fully immersed. I lost sleep, unable to put down the book. A true five stars, no notes.
