I went into the Hunger Games VERY excited. I had read a few other older dystopians and banned books, and this book had been on my TBR for a while now. I do not HATE the hunger games, but it did disappoint me. I feel like this book did too much telling and not enough showing. The book is from Katniss’ perspective, and the whole thing felt like “Our society does this because of this and that makes me angry” to me. I may read Catching Fire, as I’ve been told that Suzanne Collins’ writing gets better over time, but sadly the first book in this series feels very subpar.
