In Depth Analysis
I originally read this book in high school. I read the first book as part of a group that I was involved in known as the Helen Ruffin reading bowl. The Hunger Games was nominated for the Georgia Peach Book Award for Teen Readers in 2009 and won this award. I read the first book as part of the Helen Ruffin reading bowl team. I read the second book soon after and I read the third book shortly after it came out in 2010. I recently bought all three books for my Kindle and have since reread the whole series.
My Original Thoughts: I really enjoyed the first book. I thought that the plot was so unique and I really enjoyed the plot twists. The love triangle in the book was excellently placed and I was eager to find out who Katniss would choose. As the series continued, I found that I was disappointed with how the series progressed. The series became kind of predictable and never ending.
My Thoughts After Rereading The Series: After I reread the series, I enjoyed the last two books much more than the first time that I had read them. When I reread the books, I noticed more details than I did the first time and that really amplified how much I enjoyed the books. Suzanne Collins developed a wonderful story that I will be happy to read once again.

Final Statements
Recommended Reading Age: I would recommend this book to mature teenagers and older as there is a good bit of violence.
Overall Rating: 4/5
