Fast paced book with plenty of action. A great read, though dark at times. The future is a bleak place in this book.

Moderate: Child death

Several characters die, expected given the theme of the book (children in a contest to the death)

I really liked it. It's very gripping and I was on edge despite knowing what was gonna happen in the end haha (watched the movie a few years ago). The characters were great. I really like how Katniss was written. She wasn't overly skilled or overly snarky, just very realistic. Peeta and Rue were also great characters. The worldbuilding/dystopia is written well. I loved the commentary on classism and using people's pain for entertainment.

A very nice collector's item. There was about one illustration per chapter. A few of them I would want framed, especially Katniss in the fire dress. I appreciate how

none of the illustrations contained any explicit violence because that felt like it would have missed the point

My one minor criticism is that I wish the pages between the illustrations would have been decorated a bit more.
