There is a reason The Hunger Games launched a thousand YA dystopian knock offs. This novel doesn't just hold up, it is outstanding. Suzanne Collins' control of limited first person and indirect characterisation is outstanding.

I love the hunger games! I’ve only ever watched the movies and I’m so excited to learn the true details and thoughts through the books! I was truly amazed by the brilliant writing and how I was kept entertained for hours on end! I could not put this book down until I was finished! This is a must read!

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!

i never got around to reading these books as a kid and i’m so glad i decided to pick them up now. i’ve seen the films so i kind of new what to expect, but katniss’s internal monologue adds SO much to the storytelling. excited to continue with the series

I got bored with the survivalism - it’s pretty sickening to read about children fighting tooth and nail to survive (but that’s the point).
