This was just as perfect as the first time I read it. I appreciated all the little things so much more this time around. The Hunger Games was far ahead of its time when it was written. It’s my favourite dystopian fiction. Not only is it the benchmark for its kind, it was also a trendsetter. Its blueprint can be observed in current books in this genre. The message of this book is so strong, it blows my mind how realistic this work of fiction mirrors the state of the world. Classism, fascism, totalitarianism, inequality, oppression, rebellions, trauma — you name it, this book discusses it. Books are inherently political.
Of course, I love Peeta and Katniss, but I soaked up the side characters just as much during my reread. Cinna, Rue and Haymitch were some of my favourites. Real ones know that Haymitch had every right to be the way he was. I cannot wait to read his upcoming book!
Everyone should read this book at least once. I firmly believe that the fiction genre would look starkly different today if this book was never released. It’s timeless.
“Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.”

love you rereading these books!!
this series is one of those ya books i firmly believe was never overhyped and will always remain relevant and important. i've been meaning to reread this for two years but never got around to doing it lol who knows, maybe 2025's the year!! so glad this reread was a hit for you bestie!!
As the release of the new book approaches, I should also reread this series... I'm super happy to see that it continues to be a five star for you! 🖤
I just read the whole series back in August….. I never read them as a kid 🫣 but watched them. I’m so glad I finally read them because wow…. Truly an amazing series! Looking forward to the new release!
It is criminal I have never read this!!!!
Looking forward to reading Sunrise on The Reaping as it is suppose to be Haymitch's story and he is definitely my favorite character in The Hunger Games!
An absolute masterpiece, worthy of re reads 🙌 great review 🖤
Read this 3 times and I swear it gets better every time. <3

one day i will start and read this series 😔
so glad you enjoyed bb! 💗
this was sooo ahead of its time, and the fact that you can read it again 10+ years later and it hits the same or even better, lets you know all about it, glad to see you are still loving it ❤️🔥❤️🔥
