A review by marthadude
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

adventurous challenging dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

This book still slaps and it’s more relevant than it ever was. Tatiana Maslany is a phenomenal narrator. Big thank you to Suzanne Collins for putting all the audiobooks on Spotify for free.
