I inhaled this book when I was 13. Nothing else mattered. Sleep schedule was ruined. God bless.

Re-read this book almost a decade after I read it for the first time, and I have to say, I feel just as captivated now as I did back then. It's such an incredible book, and it's so beautifully written. I got so absorbed into the book I read nearly half in one sitting. It has the perfect balance between detail and pace , it's so easy to imagine exactly what Katniss sees and feels .

I read this after having seen the movies, and it’s like a whole different story. The plot is so well written and the characters are all so complex. While the level of reading is a bit low for my taste, I still thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to start the next one.
