This is my first time picking up The Hunger Games after growing up watching and re-watching the movies for years and all I can say is “why didn’t I pick this up sooner?!” The book is a lot more intense and detailed than the movie, which is some thing I appreciate and am grateful to be able to read and truly dissect for the first time now that I’m older. I was in between reading my paperback and listening to the audiobook or doing both at the same time to enhance my reading experience. I can’t wait to reread this once I’m done with the trilogy so I can annotate the hell out of my copy because I was itching to if it weren’t for me having an old copy of the book😅 After it being such an amazing read, there’s no doubt in my mind that the next two books will only get better and this is a new book I won’t stop recommending!
