I couldn't remember if I ever read or finished reading The Hunger Games series a decade ago (as part of summer reading in high school) so I bought the Trilogy and Presequel after Christmas last year and finally got to read Book 1. I think I appreciated the story more as an adult than as a teen watching the movies all those years ago. Katniss' voice was so present and raw throughout the entire book. She pulled me in. Even though she's sixteen, the story doesn't feel like it's through a teen's eyes at times, but someone who's experienced a lot of life. Which for her, she had with how her world was.
