A review by emilyusuallyreading
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

5.0

After watching Catching Fire recently, I decided to re-read the series. I absolutely love Collins' writing style. Katniss has a voice that is gritty and authentic. She is not an angsty teenage girl; she is a survivor and a fighter. The relationships in her life are meaningful, and I appreciate the character development in even the most minor supporting characters, such as Flavius and Octavia. The heavy content is elaborated just enough for its target demographic, but also emphasized in a way that will make young adults look at the media, the government, and the sanctity of human life.
