I haven’t read this since middle school and wow it still holds up to my extreme standards. And as much as I love the movies, the books really are better.

I love how simple the writing is. Since it’s YA, that is to be expected but it’s not written like it’s intended for children. It’s just so well written and you believe the world is real right from the jump.

Finishing this made me instantly depressed. In part because I know what struggles come next for Katniss but also the grief I feel for Peeta. What a beautiful character. Suzanne Collins writes such great characters and I love to live in her worlds.

Can’t wait to reread Catching Fire!!!!!!!
