Once I finally finished this book after a couple of months, I actually came to enjoy the book. So I might finish the trilogy eventually.
I am pretty 50/50 when it comes to dystopian novels, unfortunately for me I have seen the movie beforehand and that kinda ruined the experience for me. It felt a little slow and there were so many small details that were changed for the movie it kinda made the book frustrating for me. Sigh.
However, all that said I am really glad these books were made because I actually really do enjoy the story and I am glad they got made into movies. So koodos to Suzanne Collins.

Over 10 years since the first reading and it still holds up.
