Basically... I understand the hype. And I want to emphasize that I don't expect a lot from young adult books anymore. At this point I just read them as palette cleansers but wow, this book really showed me that I have to be more selective because the young adult books I've been reading are trash compared to this one.
The characters are very lovable and when I say characters I pretty much mean Peeta. I get the hype, they got me again... I think I really like that this book is not narrated from his perspective because not knowing his intentions makes his character a hundred times more interesting and intriguing. He gives me a slice of bread and I am kept wondering if he's manipulating me into thinking that he's nice to get me to be his friend or if he's actually nice. I'm still not sure but he got me, I do want to be his friend.

A very realistic view of how our world could be, the Hunger Games depicts the twisted and cruel nature of people in power and wealth. Katniss' character grew on me. In the beginning, she came across as a very brooding and dry person, but through the challenges of the Games, her intelligence and resourcefulness became very apparent. As well as this, her relationship with Peeta was sweet and sincere; I loved seeing them together!
Overall, there was tension and drama galore in this book. I grew to love the characters and rooted for them throughout their challenges. The plot was interesting and well-paced, and I was eager to get ahold of the next books in the series once I finished it.
