i am stupid
people have been telling me for years now to read these books, but i just wouldn`t listen

why? oh why didn`t I listen?????

the only critique I have right now is directed towards myself for not picking this up sooner

what an amazing start to a series, one of the best dystopian novels I have ever read AND one of the few books I`ve read where I liked the first-person narration (which is a huge complement coming from someone who usually despises this)

I am so excited for catching fire (which is my favorite of the movies),
in fact the only reason why I am rating this only 4.5/5 stars is because I suspect catching fire to be my favorite of the books aswell and I want to safe the 5 star rating for that one
