I have always loved this series. Reading this as a teenager when it first came out changed my relationship with reading. I love dystopia and this is the perfect series. I've reread it as an adult and got a lot more out of it too!

I wasn't too excited about starting this book, but a few of my friends really liked it, so I thought I'd give it a go. A few pages in, I almost gave up. A bunch of blahblahblah about some cat. And then I really got sucked in. The parts that took place during the actual Hunger Games reminded me of watching Survivor every Thursday night with my pals in Athens, GA -- I think that must be where the basic inspiration of the Hunger Games comes from (reality TV and Survivor). The end of the games really made me roll my eyes (Rule change! Just Kidding!), but all in all it was a very entertaining book with interesting characters and I'm already sucked into the second one.
