I don't think I would have read this book if not for my boyfriend purchasing it based on the hype alone. I picked it up before he did, and I read it all in 2 days. DO NOT be swayed by the fact that it is in the Junior's book section. This book was so graphic and horrifying based on the age of those involved, it is truly for adults, and will keep you RAPT until the final page and beyond. The characters are superbly fleshed out, and you absolutely end up caring about them. Many times, a main character becomes annoying or whiny, but Katniss is everything she is supposed to be- strong, independent and fearless. The love story is suspenseful and different, not at all what I was expecting.

Once you start the Hunger Games, you will not be able to stop until you are through all three, and you will STILL be begging for more! Such a great easy read.
