A re-read again after a while of not doing so. Noticed more differences between the movie and the book. Some things I wish they had not missed out in the movie: Madge, the Avox, a more detailed scene of Thresh letting Katniss live, District 11 sending a sponsor of their bread to Katniss, Peeta's leg, Katniss' partial deafness, and more development with Katniss and Rue's relationship. I think the movie gave Cato a more forgiving end which I prefer because it shows that he is also just a child who has been manipulated by the system. Although I don't support Gale and his future actions, I think it would have been better in the movie to show how Katniss is more open towards the idea of having a future with Gale and, more often than not, she is the one who thinks about her relationship with Gale than Gale himself. I've re-read this book, and the others, many times and I can still enjoy it every time. It is nostalgic for me and I think there is a lot of hidden depth and detail within the book that is often underlooked - there is always something new that I think about in a different way.

Read this first at 11. I'm 24 now, and it's as good as I remember.
