Rereading this book for the first time since 2011 was fascinating. I was able to notice so many things I didn’t quite pick up on originally and have just gained a stronger appreciation for Collins’ narrative, pacing, and descriptions.

So this is a young adult book. All of these warnings are things that feature in the book, but it’s not terribly graphic. There are parts that can be upsetting to readers, but nothing that a twelve or eleven year old couldn’t handle.

Minor: Body shaming and Cannibalism

Animal death content warning comes from how Katniss is a hunter in order to get food for her family. There are never any explicit descriptions, but it's frequent.
