I was a little hipster back in the day: when I was in middle school, I thought Hunger Games was a lame rip-off of Battle Royale. Oh, how wrong I was. The two properties have the vague structure of their game in common, and that's really about it.

Turns out, the hype was real. Hunger Games IS really, really good. It's a fast read with interesting world-building and a tense story. It's everything people used to say about it. Even though I knew

Rue dies

, I was impressed by how hard that scene hit.

Her time in the story is so short, but she still makes such

a big impact, even knowing the twist. I'm really excited to read the next ones.

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.
