Going absolutely feral....

I don't remember why my twelve yearld old self decided not to read this book but my god... How good they are.
I loved the movies and I thought nows the time and I enjoyed every second of it
It's good, entertaining, keeps you on the edge but at the same time is light-paced, hurtful, and everybody knows I love a good unreliable narrator.
Can't wait to see more and more of them

I tend not to read overly popular books for fear it won't live up to my expectations but I am so glad I did. Listening to Tatiana Maslany really brought Katniss to life in a new way. It was well written and still exciting even after seeing the films many times. Highly recommend. I am definitely going to listen to the next few books in the series and may even re-read in the future (a rare occurrence for me)
