Read this first at 11. I'm 24 now, and it's as good as I remember.

As about my third/fourth reread, this book never disappoints. Whoever saw just the movies doesn't know half the story... The way Katniss thinks and communicates with Haymitch, how the bonds get forged, what consequences come out of every sound of that canon and the aftermath of it all.

Great book, been re-reading it almost every year for the past 10 years. Recommend it for older teens (14+) and young adults.

I love this book, I love getting to hear Katniss’ thoughts and motivations behind her actions. She comes across as uncaring and indifferent to others but she has complex feelings and is a great character. The history of the world was easy to understand, the story wasn’t drawn out and the writing style makes it easy to read quickly.
