I first read The Hunger Games back in high school. That was four to five years ago, so I was really up for a reread! Now that I've finished it, I can say that I appreciate it more now.

This book is just brilliant! I have read it years ago, watched the movie adaptation several times already, but wow, wow, wow! I still keep getting shocked and excited over plot twists and major scenes! The writing is just so, so good. That first person point of view really gives the reader an amazing perspective towards the people, towards the world, towards their imperfect country. Katniss is such a great character for me. She has no filter, she's straightforward, she's brave, and she can also be hostile, and yet she is so full of compassion to those who are close to her. Peeta, this sweet, honest, and precious person, I love him! He has been nothing but supportive. The minor characters are also really good. You get invested in them as well, not just the main character, not just the story. Some of my faves are Haymitch, Rue, and Cinna! Also, ahhh. That unrequited love. It makes my heart clench and makes me think of how it has been incorporated to the story and to the character really well.

Anyway, that was such a good read! looking forward to reading the rest!
