I had trouble putting this book down. Katniss has understandable flaws and strengths. Suzanne Collins writes this perfectly.

This was a reread from not reading the book in a while. I was scared that I would hate it and that was not the case at all. I devoured this book like never before the story was intriguing, it pulled on my heart strings, I cried, I laughed, everything you can think of I did. Honestly it’s so much better when you’re mature and not the age of 11 or so to read this book because of how fucked up this book is. The mention of Katniss almost getting plastic surgery shocked me to my core she’s a child and wanted to perform plastic surgery so she can fit their aesthetic as if she didn’t just brutally murdered people, it was amazing (weird that I said that but whatever).

I am a Everlark shipper even when people were saying that Gale is superior (IM LAUGHING AT ALL OF YOU WHO THOUGHT THAT) so reading the things Peeta did and said made me giggle like a school girl with a crush was everything I needed. I knew I liked the Hunger Games but now I know that I LOVE the Hunger Games. I have only read and watched the first movie but that was some time ago so I’m excited to get to read the rest of  the series. If I could I would rate this 6 stars.

This book really is just so great. I was obsessed as a young teenager, and I’m obsessed now in my mid-twenties. Also book peeta is just so so special to me 🫶🏻

A really strong start to the series, but truthfully stands very well on its own as a complete, punchy, well told story. There are a few small moments where the pacing slows down a bit too much for my taste, but largely the pacing is very good. I last read the book when I was in middle school and I didn’t expect it to hold up to rereading as an adult, but it proved me wrong very successfully. I feel I can’t comment on the characters much because I know my perception of them is formed by much more than just this book alone.

I inhaled this book when I was 13. Nothing else mattered. Sleep schedule was ruined. God bless.

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!!
