I find this book enjoyable, it's a taut book but gives that a sort of spark to the story and the relationship between the characters makes it just that more intriguing which really hooks you into it.

Read this first at 11. I'm 24 now, and it's as good as I remember.

As about my third/fourth reread, this book never disappoints. Whoever saw just the movies doesn't know half the story... The way Katniss thinks and communicates with Haymitch, how the bonds get forged, what consequences come out of every sound of that canon and the aftermath of it all.

I tend not to read overly popular books for fear it won't live up to my expectations but I am so glad I did. Listening to Tatiana Maslany really brought Katniss to life in a new way. It was well written and still exciting even after seeing the films many times. Highly recommend. I am definitely going to listen to the next few books in the series and may even re-read in the future (a rare occurrence for me)
