 I feel completely comfortable calling The Hunger Games, and its accompanying sequels, modern classics. The ease with which Suzanne Collins is able to directly comment on consistent, overarching themes while simultaneously weaving an immensely thrilling story is captivating. Each decision heightens the tension without a moment to breathe until the end of the final book. It's beautiful. It's horrifying. It's a hyperbolic expression of capitalist subjugation and the necessary ways moral panic can be coopted to change ingrained power systems. It even has fairly successful film translations—something few and far between. It's The Hunger Games, and for all its references, it is now a permanent part of American literary canon.

catching fire has become my new favorite in the Hunger Games series, it has a mix of old and new characters, gripping plot, and President Snow being an evil bastard tied everything in!
