I'm re-reading this series after a 15 year break and they hold up better than I could have hoped. The Hunger Games is radically political and is a great social commentary on how war is made into entertainment and so many other really deep themes. I believe the Hunger Games series to be vital reading on how violence truly is a cycle that takes more than willpower to break. 

May the odds be ever in your favor while reading these fantastic books!

This was so good! It’s been about 8 years since I first read it and I had forgotten almost everything. I think I definitely prefer Katniss in the book because it really shows that she’s just a young girl and stuff she says/does really demonstrates her age and makes it so much more horrifying than in the movies where there’s an adult playing her (no offense to the movie lovers).
