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.

this book keeps you hooked from start to finish. 
can't help to compare it a little bit with the world we live in today, where the discrepancy between poor and rich is so ruthlessly real and then compare the different districts with various countries or even continents altogether... 
I love that it makes you think and compare with our day to day life even tho it happens in a postapocalyptic world.
also has the perfect amount of everything: love, drama, suspense and so on. 
it's a shame I didn't read it sooner becaus it was also quite easily to identify with the main characters as well.

the book really immerses you, allowing you to feel the adrenaline of Katniss in the Games with her. Classic for a reason and it’s intense in a good way.
