“We wanted to honor Donald Sutherland by having one of this generation’s greatest actors play President Snow 24 years before Katniss Everdeen entered the arena,” Jacobson says. “Working with Ralph has been on my bucket list since he traumatized me for life in Schindler’s List. It’s genuinely a thrill to welcome him to the Hunger Games.”

The Hunger Games is my favourite speculative fiction series. By a wide margin.

The Hollywood Reporter · Ralph Fiennes to Play President Snow in ‘Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping’ (Exclusive)Von Ryan Gajewski

“Those who read the Hunger Games books and watch the movies only for the grisly deaths, the glamorous parades, and the swoonworthy love triangle end up ignoring what Collins is actually trying to communicate about war theory.”

This essay just made me want to re-read The Hunger Games, and dig into the other books:

I stayed up past midnight finishing this lol, whoops

My review:
I first read The Hunger Games when I was in high school. That's been at least 15+ years ago, and I am so pleasantly surprised by how well this book has held up. I was daydreaming about getting back home and reading it while I was at work this week 😅

‼️ SPOILERS BELOW ‼️

This story is pretty brutal for something that is widely considered young adult, and I'm not complaining about the rating, I was just surprised that I didn't remember how gruesome some scenes were! Rue's death in particular really got me, and I'm sure part of that is because I have a kid of my own now.

I really loved Katniss so much too. I don't think I really appreciated how good her character is when I was younger, but to me she came across as a perfect main character. She's talented and brave, but also flawed, angsty, and definitely has the attitude of a 16 year old, despite her circumstances. Some of her inner thoughts really made me laugh.

I'm stoked to reread this whole series and then get to the prequels!!
