4 STARS! I really enjoyed this. I think that watching the movies first just enhanced the book in such an awesome way. I could perfectly visualize the characters, and every scene from the movie. The book brought so much more entertainment, depth, and detail to the story than the movies (in my opinion). I was very pleased with this book. Looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy, and seeing more of Katniss, Peeta, and friends!

Řekla jsem si, že bych nový rok mohla započít přečtením něčeho dobrého, o čem jistě vím, že mě to nezklame. A tak jsem si vybrala kultovní trilogii Hunger games. Myslím, že se mé přání splnilo a já knize o sedm dní později s úsměvem dávám čtyři hvězdičky.
Sice jsem už mnohokrát viděla film, a tak pro mě mnoho pasáží nebylo tolik napínavých, ale i tak jsem si v nějakých scénkách téměř kousala nehty nedočkavostí, jak že to vyvrcholí. Celý příběh je zpracován výborně, a ačkoliv jsem si první kapitolu úplně nemohla zvyknout na přítomný čas, brzy jsem na nějaký problém se stylem autorky zapomněla a nechala se unášet skvělým příběhem s ještě lepším světem a postavami.

As an adult I can say this is as good a read for grownups as it is for young adults. Some of the surprises were easily spotted well before the characters became aware of them, but it was still a great story and I couldn't put it down.

This book is the first of an entertaining trilogy. There are some of what I would call writing flaws present, and it's hard to tease out whether they exist because this is a YA novel or just because the writer lacked skill. My principal complaint is the amount of repetition. Katniss constantly recaps the same memories, feelings and scenes over and over again - it's less a problem in this book than the subsequent three, but it was enough to irritate me. I also personally found the romance elements a little over-the-top, but again, I think that's a product of the fact that this book is ultimately written for Grade 7, thus these kinds of overwrought/repetitive techniques are useful for that age group.
I'm not going to get preachy about the content. The story is engaging and fresh, and I felt like some of the more murderous segments were done cleanly and without wallowing in gross-out (ahem, Mr. King).
