Truly one of the greatest things i’ve ever read. It’s a complex and compelling story that urges the reader to open their mind to the nuances of the world we live in. Panem may be a dystopian future- but it is all too real. 

Not to mention every character is lovable in their own way, and Katniss as a protagonist is one of the greatest I've ever seen. This book is considered a classic of young adult fiction, and it still holds strong to this day.

I'm glad I finally got around to reading the Hunger Games, though I suspect I got less out of it now than I would have when I was younger - it seems like the kind of book which would have absolutely consumed my life at 13 years old. That being said, it was a great book; I appreciated it for being a quick read, with enough depth to keep me interested but not so much complexity as to get in the way of the entertainment and escapism that I was there for. Katniss is an excellent protagonist, with enough character flaws to make her interesting, and she's an easy character to root for throughout. The side characters are also notable for all having fairly well-defined personalities which contribute to the strength of the story.
