This was so good! It’s been about 8 years since I first read it and I had forgotten almost everything. I think I definitely prefer Katniss in the book because it really shows that she’s just a young girl and stuff she says/does really demonstrates her age and makes it so much more horrifying than in the movies where there’s an adult playing her (no offense to the movie lovers).

This book was every bit as good as I remember it being when I was a teenager, and possibly even more challenging. The premise is so dark and sad, but the characters so loveable it's hard not to enjoy the story.

I love watching the character growth in Peeta and Katniss. I will always cry at that one death. Haymitch is probably my favorite character. 

The underlying warnings about a people divided are hard to ignore.

My only real complaint with the book is how stiff Katniss is throughout, even when she knows what's on the line. Maybe it's just because I don't relate to her personality but I found myself rolling my eyes at how obtuse she is at times. However, this definitely doesn't ruin the story for me at all.

Perdóname, Suzanne Collins por juzgar tu libro de manera estúpida cuando se volvió popular entre el 2013 y 2014. I wasn't familiar with your game
