I first read this book when I was in middle school and the movie adaptations were just coming out. I remember the focus on the "love story" that was at the heart of this series. But the Hunger Games isn't about love; it's about survival in a society where twenty-four children kill each other for sport on live TV every year. Katniss has an advantage because she already knows what's it like to starve, to lose someone, to hunt and to rage against the system that forces her to do these things. It uncovers the strategy and psychology of being a TV star and those of being a traumatized teenager put into a death game where traps and other contestants could kill you at any moment. It's harrowing and tense and once the Games end, you realize that it's just the tip of the iceberg.

this book keeps you hooked from start to finish. 
can't help to compare it a little bit with the world we live in today, where the discrepancy between poor and rich is so ruthlessly real and then compare the different districts with various countries or even continents altogether... 
I love that it makes you think and compare with our day to day life even tho it happens in a postapocalyptic world.
also has the perfect amount of everything: love, drama, suspense and so on. 
it's a shame I didn't read it sooner becaus it was also quite easily to identify with the main characters as well.

This book represents celebrity culture, shows a saviour complex, shows the future of climate change and so much more. Collins has designed this world considering the perils of our own really making us reflect on society. And it’s a really tense exciting book to read! So much tense and drama I loved it!
