I rated the book 5 stars, but I have to knock the narration down for a couple reasons. 1) I'm really tired of books told in first person establish that the main character is canonically from a real world region and then not have the audiobook narrated by someone with that region's accent. Katniss is well established to be from Appalachia (WV area), and I was greatly disappointed to not hear that reflected in the narration. 2) there was just something really lackluster about the narration style. It didn't seem to match the urgency of the narrative during a lot of key moments. Still a great story, but this audiobook isn't the best reflection of it or Katniss.
