Rereading this series after having read it when I was 12-13 and reflecting on the themes I missed when reading it then. It's so odd to me that my friends and I focused on the romance in the book rather than the contents itself. The Hunger Games definitely holds up to the test of time and I'm looking to read some social/political commentary alongside the series.

Captured my attention from start to finish without letting go. Suzanne has a genuine skill with her writing and I fully believe she deserves every word of praise she gets, truly remarkable work.

(reread) i loooved this book, but i have some complicated feelings about it. i found tons of grammar/wording mistakes which (not to be anal) really irked me. but the characters were incredibly complex, which was so enjoyable to read about from katniss’ cynical pov. overall this was a really fun read that kept me engaged the whole time! it makes pretty fascinating commentary on human nature.
