I am not joking when I tell you I didn’t put this book down for 4 hours straight, forgetting everything about my life and entering the deadly, enthralling narrative of the Hunger Games. 
I really don’t know why I had not read this before, but I’m so happy I did. I loved Katniss, fell utterly in love with Peeta and was so fascinated by the vivid world Suzanne Collins has created that I forgot all else. I can’t wait to move on to the next book!

It's a very emotional book. The emotion is not "lighthearted fun".
