I finished the Hunger Games and the book definitely was a good read. I wouldn't however consider this to be a quick read. The book is time consuming and even though its a book that you cant blow through in a day, its still is great. Reading it is a total body experience. You have to take your time to read this one. You have to savor it like creme brulee. Its a creme brulee book. lol Reading this was my first time reading a dystopian novel and I really enjoyed it. I Think what made me love this book is Katniss's incredible strength. Her ability to go to the ends of the earth for those who she cares about most. She volunteered to take her sister's place in the Hunger Games, cared for her mother after her father died, took care of Peeta and helped nurse him back to health. She is the strong, smart and capable of knowing how to asses a situation and how to act on it accordingly, and if she cant help, she'll try to save face for your sake. I dont want to give away too much of the story but the way the games ended made me shed a tear because you can see that something is there between them, whether it wants to be realized or not. Comment below if you know exactly what I'm talking about. Since this book is so good, I'm going to continue with the trilogy and I've already started to read the second book Catching Fire. In the mean time I'm going to look into more dystopian novels. I think this book may have started something for me. So when you read The Hunger Games. Savor it like you would creme brulee :-)
