The movies were great, but there were little things from the book that would have made them so much better.

Reading this book as an adult and understanding why Suzanne Collins wrote it and bringing that into my reading and analysis has made this book even more significant for me. It’s a really fantastic story and it’s an important read, especially for the age it’s written for, to understand political control and subjugation. All I want is the liberation of Panem and for Katniss to get to be free and free to explore her own needs and feelings. Thank god for the next two books.

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
