First re-read. Love this book and as I’m listening I’m taking in just how good a job the movie did of capturing the book. There were obviously a few differences but they got a LOT of details right and only missed a few significant things. What really kills me is how little of a personality Katniss has. Of course I think some of that can be attributed to her need for survival her whole life. But her character is def a large flaw of this book.

Absolutely perfect. The only good thing to come out of the 2010s dystopian surge. Made me cry, made me giggle and twirl my hair, made me so mad, loved it. Love the message and the way it’s written, love the characters, love everlark.

 This book taught me never to judge a book by its cover (literally). I first read The Hunger Games for the mother-daughter book club I was in when I was in middle school (2011 or 2012). This was before the series became popular, and I came home one day to find this book on my bedside table. My initial reaction was that it didn't look very interesting, but since it was for book club, I had to read it. As soon as I picked it up, I was hooked. I flew through it, then badgered all my book club friends about it until they read it too. To this day, it is one of my favorite books, and I was so excited when my youngest sister fell in love with the series too (at about the same age that I first read them!). I love how simple but impactful the writing is, and the characters some of my favorites in all literature. I've read and reread the trilogy, and this is probably one of the books I know best in the world.
