Olen lukenut Nälkäpelin ensimmäisen kerran reilu 10 vuotta sitten enkä sen jälkeen ole siihen tarttunut. Pitkään olen nyt haaveillut uudestaan lukevani sen, ja nyt vihdoin kesällä on aikaa. Ja hui, kaikki pelkoni jäivät toteutumatta ja rakastin Nälkäpeliä niin kuin lapsenakin. On lähes ilmiömäistä, miten hyvin kirja on kestänyt aikaa.

Dystopiana Nälkäpeli on uskottava ja uskottavuudessaan karmaiseva. Katnissin näkökulma tekee kirjasta elävän ja samaistuttavan. Kirja on kirjoitettu todella koukuttavasti eikä sivun kääntäminen ole koskaan ollut näin helppoa. Nälkäpeli on jo nyt klassikko - eikä suotta!

Everything is crafted masterfully, from the characters and the atmosphere down to the political system and it’s flaws. I really enjoyed Katniss’ small ways of rebellion. I don’t think there’s anything about the objective value of this book that I can add that hasn’t already (rightfully!) been said, so I’ll stick to my subjective enjoyment of this first hunger games book.

I watched the movies before reading the books and I can’t say it didn’t influence my reading experience. I definitely would have enjoyed it much more if I hadn’t know the story, but it was still very entertaining and I got through this first book in a couple evenings. Despite me knowing the major plot points, the story still had me hooked and it was interesting to see Katniss’ thoughts.

It’s a really solid book, one that has undeniably influenced many aspects of our 21st century media. Personally, I thought this was great, but I’m not obsessed with it like I might have been if teenage me had read this going in completely blind.

I couldn't remember if I ever read or finished reading The Hunger Games series a decade ago (as part of summer reading in high school) so I bought the Trilogy and Presequel after Christmas last year and finally got to read Book 1. I think I appreciated the story more as an adult than as a teen watching the movies all those years ago. Katniss' voice was so present and raw throughout the entire book. She pulled me in. Even though she's sixteen, the story doesn't feel like it's through a teen's eyes at times, but someone who's experienced a lot of life. Which for her, she had with how her world was.
