Rereading this book reminded me how groundbreaking this series was when it came out. The pioneer of dystopian YA novels! I cried multiple times.

It's hard not to love the Hunger Games. I first read the book back in about 2012 and haven't revisited since, but both the text and the films made a lasting impact. I still remember devouring the text after waiting so long to start it.

But for this, I really want to talk about the audio book. Tatiana does amazing work portraying Katniss and all the characters. Her performance is just as captivating, just as tense, just as unable to put it down as reading the text was my first go through. I can imagine myself coming back to listen to her over and over again. And with the audio book sitting at about 10 and a half hours, it goes quick.
