I read this with my students and it is one of my favourite read alouds. Every time that I read this novel I feel like I make deeper connections and more complex understandings of the characters. It really is such a rich book series.

Also, my most reluctant readers like this one, which is always a plus!

It's a very gripping story that's well written. It got me out of a reading slump easily. I just got kind of tired of the love triangle in Katniss' mind and the repetition of some descriptions. All in all, really good. I'm excited to read the next one!

I find this book enjoyable, it's a taut book but gives that a sort of spark to the story and the relationship between the characters makes it just that more intriguing which really hooks you into it.
