I love the hunger games! I’ve only ever watched the movies and I’m so excited to learn the true details and thoughts through the books! I was truly amazed by the brilliant writing and how I was kept entertained for hours on end! I could not put this book down until I was finished! This is a must read!

There is definitely violence. It is war. In the hunger games the goal is to kill all 23 tributes until you're the last one standing. The alternative is death. As a result you witness a lot of that while reading this book. You can either kill or be killed. They are set in bloody times and you might wince at an injury description, but the books really are works of art!

This was one of my very rare rereads. The first time I read it when the movie first came out because our class wanted to see the movie in cinema and I like to read a book before I watch the movie. Now I'm reading it is because tiktok made me want to read them again. When I first read the book years ago I thought this book would be stupid but I loved it sooo much and it's still amazing. 
When I first read the book the main draw of the book was the Lovestory between Katniss and Peeta and I still love this part of the book (I a sucker for almost all lovestorys) but now reading it again, the main focus of the book shifted for me, now it was the political situations. And the parallels to politics and happenings around the world to day. It's quite shocking. 

I think Suzanne Collins is an amazing writer and I know that I will buy the new book of her "the ballad of songbirds and snakes" I know it's supposed to get a movie in the near futur and I want to read it before the movie comes out.

Great book, been re-reading it almost every year for the past 10 years. Recommend it for older teens (14+) and young adults.
