Rereading this book reminded me how groundbreaking this series was when it came out. The pioneer of dystopian YA novels! I cried multiple times.

This book still slaps and it’s more relevant than it ever was. Tatiana Maslany is a phenomenal narrator. Big thank you to Suzanne Collins for putting all the audiobooks on Spotify for free.

Kids go into an arena and fight to the death. Lots of gore, violence, and child death.

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.

This is my second time reading this book and damn, this is a really good book. I enjoyed myself so much while reading this. The Hunger Games is so well written, gripping, sad, and it's such good entertainment. There are so many characters I liked, and too many scenes that made me scream out or literally shed tears in real life. When an author can make you feel emotions or when they can make you cry or scream out in fear, you know that's a damn good author. Collins is a damn good author. 

I loved this book, I'm giving it a 5 out of 5 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
