My Hunger Games kick has served me well, I'm glad I finally took the time to read this modern classic. I liked It so much more than I thought I would. Each character gets featured and is pretty developed despite how little time we spend with them. It was also a very fast-paced story. Sometimes, the dialogue was a bit stilted, but I can chalk that up to the translation. I also wasn't a fan of how often the kids discussed their crushes or how shocked our MC was about girls being capable of viciousness.
