Well-deserving of its praise. Despite the gore and darkness, I couldn't put this book down. Each new development had me desperate to turn the next page. I loved Katniss' tenacity and survival skills. 

The story is essentially a group of rich Dr. Seuss characters pitting teens from different districts together to fight to the death as their reality TV show entertainment - complete with influencer sponsorships too!

Anyway, I'll definitely be watching the movie version now!
