"This book ages like wine. I read it for the first time at 10, and then again at 21. Understanding the world better as I got older allowed for me to understand Panem better, and you start to understand why Collins only writes when there is something to say. There are layers of genius to this book (and series) that I missed for years and only began appreciating after rereading this as an adult. "
