The world building is really great and also the plot keeps you intrigued even when there’s less action. 
I liked Katniss as the main character. She’s brave and smart, just a natural leader that people can learn from. 
If you enjoyed watching the movie or just want to start a new series, I think The Hunger Games is great!!

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.
