A re-read again after a while of not doing so. Noticed more differences between the movie and the book. Some things I wish they had not missed out in the movie: Madge, the Avox, a more detailed scene of Thresh letting Katniss live, District 11 sending a sponsor of their bread to Katniss, Peeta's leg, Katniss' partial deafness, and more development with Katniss and Rue's relationship. I think the movie gave Cato a more forgiving end which I prefer because it shows that he is also just a child who has been manipulated by the system. Although I don't support Gale and his future actions, I think it would have been better in the movie to show how Katniss is more open towards the idea of having a future with Gale and, more often than not, she is the one who thinks about her relationship with Gale than Gale himself. I've re-read this book, and the others, many times and I can still enjoy it every time. It is nostalgic for me and I think there is a lot of hidden depth and detail within the book that is often underlooked - there is always something new that I think about in a different way.

This book is AMAZING! :) I loved reading it and I honestly felt like I never wanted to stop. My mom got me it (as well as the second book) as a present for doing well at school. She thought since I had liked the movies, I might like the book. And she was right! 😁

This is a great book to read for people of any age! You might like it if you like dystopian books, tense or dark themes, have watched the movies & are considering reading the books, like reading books with strong world building, fantasy/sci-fi, or like reading about loveable underdogs. No matter what you like to read, this book is still enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone. :)

I read this with my students and it is one of my favourite read alouds. Every time that I read this novel I feel like I make deeper connections and more complex understandings of the characters. It really is such a rich book series.

Also, my most reluctant readers like this one, which is always a plus!
