I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire story! I cannot get over how messed up the premise of this book is. It highlights the gruesome details of a government drunk on power by having children kill each other for sport, and it chills me to the bone. While the plot/world was excellent, towards the end of the book, I started disliking the main character. I understand her main thought was survival, but her lack of care for others/disregard how her actions might affect those around her bothered me.

Read For

✓ Strong FMC

✓ Slight Cliffhanger Ending

✓ Unique Plot for its Publication Year

✓ Very Similar to the Movie Adaptation

˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗ 

Definitely went into this expecting more.  While I almost DNF’d it at 9% I kept going.  It was nearly identical to the movie only a few parts changed but ultimately it was an okay book.  I think I would have liked it more when I was a teenager rather than now but in the end I listened to the audiobook (in x3) in one go of it while I cleaned my house so it kept me busy entertained enough.

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!
