The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
4.0
I put off reading this series for a long time because I was really over the whole dystopian YA genre, but decided to give this book a shot when I found it on audiobook. I’m really glad I did, because the story ended up really pulling me in. The world building was great, the characters were well developed, and I was on the edge of my seat while listening to certain parts.
The only draw back for me was that parts of the romance plot seemed silly to me at times and took away from the main plot a bit. I also wasn’t really a fan of Katniss and ended up liking Peeta a lot more.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book (especially read by Tatiana Maslany). I’ve already moved on to Catching Fire as I couldn’t wait to hear what happens next.
