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.

it really is sooooo crazy how popular this pro-revolution anti-fascist YA series became isn’t it. it’s literally so radical and we just don’t acknowledge it because our society simply can’t handle it. and like. did suzanne collins even mean to write the most politically radical piece of mass media of the 21st century? i don’t know that she didn’t but somehow it feels hard to believe that she did. 

and yeah it really all does hit different in 2024 doesn’t it. 

ok but as for this book. when i first read it in eighth grade all i cared about was katniss/peeta. engrained from twilight i suppose but it makes me cringe to consider. the last time i tried to read it a few years ago i couldn’t make it very far in because the simplistic first person POV writing was soooo grating to me. and well it still is but after powering through a little longer the truly excellent story takes precedence and saves the day. wish a good writer wrote it though still, sorry suzanne!

It's a very emotional book. The emotion is not "lighthearted fun".
