The Hunger Games
By Suzanne Collins
5⭐️

This story was gripping from the very first page. Collins gives you a thorough look into the life of Katniss in District 12. You get a real feel for the desperation that comes from just living. Then she introduces the Hunger Games. 

During the Hunger Games you meet 24 kids from 12 districts. You see them fighting and trying to survive. Deeper than that though, you get Katniss’s perception and it feels like you are experiencing the challenges along side of her. 

This dystopian novel is engaging and it pulls you in to the very core. When you finish you will be ready to pick up the next book in the series. 

I read this book along side of my middle school son. We both enjoyed it very much.

In honor of a new Hunger Games book being announced, I’ve started rereading the series and it’s just as good and upsetting as it was the first time I read it. I just wish certain people saw it as the cautionary tale it is, rather than an instructional manual for our future. 

The characters are so good, even when they’re being terrible, and it’s one of the only books where I can be entertained by a character being on their own for a significant portion of the action. Katniss is clever, compelling and utterly human in a way I find completely devastating.

We have finished the 74th hunger games! This was such a wild ride. This was my first time reading this book and as I am an adult I am surprised by how much I enjoyed it! Katniss is THAT GIRL! While Peeta is strong where it counts. That book had me crying, gasping, laughing, and holding my breath. I throughly enjoyed every minute of reading this book and I am looking forward to moving on to book two.

the 'schizophrenia/psychosis' content warning is just for hallucinations caused by a wasplike bug's sting.
