The Hunger Games
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Man, Katniss' personality in the book is way different than the movie, but it was more. There was a lot more development to it and I found her to be way more personable. I also appreciate the book is capable of providing her thoughts and strategies in the game, which naturally helps develop that personality.
Her relationship with Gale takes a full 180 mid-book and becomes quite annoying because it's forced as a means to create tension for her and Peeta's relationship. That isn't necessary. Peeta and Katniss' relationship is complex enough with the way it began and was built and would have been a lot stronger if left to that dynamic.

Disturbing but a fascinating concept. Loved how they played to the camera. Showed where "reality tv" may be going.
rereading the series! 5 stars for the cultural MOMENT that this book was, and it definitely holds up. i forgot how sad the part with the avox was :(
i forgot that actually i donât love the writing in the beginning but then i got used to again and it was honestly fine, and the plot makes up for it
HATED this audiobook narrator though, her voice just grates me sorry. i hope somehow itâs different in the other books (i doubt it)â¦

Oh my gosh. What a woman, this author. Absolutely love this book. 10/10. Would recommend. Read it. Then read it again. In fact, you never have to read anything else ever again. Just this series, forever, the end.
