A good story but it's a pity the heroine is such a cow. Each time I read it I like her less so I think this will be the last time (2022).
2024: Read again for a challenge.
All up, it's a pretty good story, fast-paced & easy to read, & I enjoy a good dystopia tale. I doubt I enjoyed it as much as the first reading but it was still entertaining despite my dislike of Katniss. There are some tedious moments but it mostly moves along at a good clip with some great action scenes, & some really awful one ...more

Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark
This is still a 5 star read for me, but I realized that some of my perceptions of certain situations changed as they come to Katniss. I always thought that she was smart, and I still do, but this time I realized that Peeta was the better strategist or maybe he was just more selfless. He made his decisions to give Katniss the best advantages moving forward, not just in the moment.

just felt like rereading this to confirm once again that katniss is an aroace queen and everyone trying to push the love triangle is oblivious to reality
October 2023: Reading for the 2nd time and all the emotions hit the same as they did the first time. I will forever be #TeamRue.

This was an amazing book. Held my attention from beginning to end. It had some really devastating moments where I had to take a break to compose myself.
it is the kind of book where you know people are going to die and try not to get attached to them, but in the end your heart breaks anyway. I am not sure I will be able to watch the movie cause it will be even worse!
I might need a day or two before I move on to the next book in the trilogy! ...more

A well-written YA novel in a future society (Panem) where teens are sacrificed for the government's continued control. These selected teens fight to the death on a reality-based TV program. It sounds a bit gory, but was less than expected.

I loved the film version, and this book is just as great, if not better.
