I have definitely read this book more than 3 times, and each time I'm reminded as to why it stands up so much better than other YA dystopia at the time. Katniss is not the most likable protagonist, but her narration makes the story so engaging. Plus, a lot of the issues hit on in this book are still very applicable today, and I think that's why people return to it over and over again.

This was one of the books that I included in my MA thesis way back when, and there are still things I notice while reading that I either forgot or didn't notice in previous reads. From a gender theory perspective (which is part of what I did my thesis on), Katniss is such a fascinating character. And man, do I miss that kind of academic writing. I'll have to find a way to get back into it somehow!

Anyway, all this just to say: this book series will definitely forever be one of my favorites. If you haven't read it yet, the new movie coming out might just make it the perfect time!

I read this after having seen the movies, and it’s like a whole different story. The plot is so well written and the characters are all so complex. While the level of reading is a bit low for my taste, I still thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to start the next one.
