this book keeps you hooked from start to finish. 
can't help to compare it a little bit with the world we live in today, where the discrepancy between poor and rich is so ruthlessly real and then compare the different districts with various countries or even continents altogether... 
I love that it makes you think and compare with our day to day life even tho it happens in a postapocalyptic world.
also has the perfect amount of everything: love, drama, suspense and so on. 
it's a shame I didn't read it sooner becaus it was also quite easily to identify with the main characters as well.

J'ai trouvé le livre décevant tant au niveau narration que ce qu'il se passe. J'ai essayé de le lire, sans succès... :/

 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.
