I'm glad I finally got around to reading the Hunger Games, though I suspect I got less out of it now than I would have when I was younger - it seems like the kind of book which would have absolutely consumed my life at 13 years old. That being said, it was a great book; I appreciated it for being a quick read, with enough depth to keep me interested but not so much complexity as to get in the way of the entertainment and escapism that I was there for. Katniss is an excellent protagonist, with enough character flaws to make her interesting, and she's an easy character to root for throughout. The side characters are also notable for all having fairly well-defined personalities which contribute to the strength of the story.

I finally got around to reading these and they do not disappoint! The book was so interesting, it was hard to put down. All the characters have so much depth and charm, it was a really fun but also sad read T-T 💕 Ruee…

It's a very emotional book. The emotion is not "lighthearted fun".

It was funnier than I thought it would be, I imagined it much more dry or serious. I was pretty sure I would like the book, but it honestly was better than I expected. Katniss is a very well written protagonist in my opinion, with clear motivations and an understandable thought process. Peeta is an amazingly unique character, somehow subverting expections without feeling out of place. The world is also obviously well thought out, but there isn't a lot of time wasted explaining unnecessary details which is also a plus in my book.

All in all  it's a really solid start to an iconic series.
