Reading this book as an adult and understanding why Suzanne Collins wrote it and bringing that into my reading and analysis has made this book even more significant for me. It’s a really fantastic story and it’s an important read, especially for the age it’s written for, to understand political control and subjugation. All I want is the liberation of Panem and for Katniss to get to be free and free to explore her own needs and feelings. Thank god for the next two books.

i never got around to reading these books as a kid and i’m so glad i decided to pick them up now. i’ve seen the films so i kind of new what to expect, but katniss’s internal monologue adds SO much to the storytelling. excited to continue with the series

Olen lukenut Nälkäpelin ensimmäisen kerran reilu 10 vuotta sitten enkä sen jälkeen ole siihen tarttunut. Pitkään olen nyt haaveillut uudestaan lukevani sen, ja nyt vihdoin kesällä on aikaa. Ja hui, kaikki pelkoni jäivät toteutumatta ja rakastin Nälkäpeliä niin kuin lapsenakin. On lähes ilmiömäistä, miten hyvin kirja on kestänyt aikaa.

Dystopiana Nälkäpeli on uskottava ja uskottavuudessaan karmaiseva. Katnissin näkökulma tekee kirjasta elävän ja samaistuttavan. Kirja on kirjoitettu todella koukuttavasti eikä sivun kääntäminen ole koskaan ollut näin helppoa. Nälkäpeli on jo nyt klassikko - eikä suotta!
