I often think about what was going on in Suzanne Collins head, and what it takes to imagine writing a book about a world where children are forced to fight each other to the death. 

I also question my inner compass, for enjoying reading every minute of it. 
However, with how corrupt everything is in today's society, sometimes I think it may not be too far-fetched. 

I read through this book very quickly and was entertained throughout. I couldn't wait to pick up the remaining books in the series to continue reading.

Rereading this series to read the newest book (2020) only to announce they’re adding a fourth in 2025! I forget how much i enjoyed this series as a kid, and it still holds up today. I still critique the use of the love triangle, but i understand why it’s included. Overall still a great, enjoyable read.

Just completed my third time reading, and my first time using the audiobook, and I’m still filled with such deep love for this story. I enjoy this book everytime and it never gets old. It’s truly a lasting, all-time favorite.
