I’m in my late 20s and am considering reading The Hunger Games for the first time, because the Songs and Snakes movie is coming out soon. My cousins and siblings really want to watch it together, but they first read The Hunger Games ages ago. Some read it for assigned reading in fourth grade!
Is this something I could still enjoy if I didn’t read it as a teen?
I read them in college and thought they were okay. They’re very easy reads, but are fun and have some solid twists and turns. The love triangle is overdone, but that’s the YA genre.
Red Rising might be up your alley too. The first book is sort of like a more interesting, more adult Hunger Games. The series gets quite a bit different after that, although they both sort of have the same premise of a class uprising inspired by one rebel figure.
