We have finished the 74th hunger games! This was such a wild ride. This was my first time reading this book and as I am an adult I am surprised by how much I enjoyed it! Katniss is THAT GIRL! While Peeta is strong where it counts. That book had me crying, gasping, laughing, and holding my breath. I throughly enjoyed every minute of reading this book and I am looking forward to moving on to book two.

the 'schizophrenia/psychosis' content warning is just for hallucinations caused by a wasplike bug's sting.

truly a modern classic. who would i be without this book?

I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire story! I cannot get over how messed up the premise of this book is. It highlights the gruesome details of a government drunk on power by having children kill each other for sport, and it chills me to the bone. While the plot/world was excellent, towards the end of the book, I started disliking the main character. I understand her main thought was survival, but her lack of care for others/disregard how her actions might affect those around her bothered me.

Read For

✓ Strong FMC

✓ Slight Cliffhanger Ending

✓ Unique Plot for its Publication Year

✓ Very Similar to the Movie Adaptation

˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗ 

Definitely went into this expecting more.  While I almost DNF’d it at 9% I kept going.  It was nearly identical to the movie only a few parts changed but ultimately it was an okay book.  I think I would have liked it more when I was a teenager rather than now but in the end I listened to the audiobook (in x3) in one go of it while I cleaned my house so it kept me busy entertained enough.
