the hunger games shows us a dystopian world that is realistic and mature, instead of everything being perfect and visually appealing we see riots, starvation and a whole lot of death. this shows the contrast between the scavengers who live in the districts killing anything they can eat and the capitol who are stylish and spoiled coming across as alien-like. 

the world building is fantastic, all the districts are so different and detailed it makes a very diverse world. the characters were also very well written and extremely detailed. i loved gale and peeta’s (bread boy <3) characters as the contrast between them was strong but they had one thing in common. 

this book is a portrayal of sacrifice, love, survival and support. i would recommend this book to everyone who loves getting completely immersed in another world.
