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?
Honestly I just listened to an audiobook of the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and while I rolled my eyes at some of the most YA aspects I found myself greatly engrossed and emotionally involved with it - and this has given me an insane itch to reread the books again. For clarity, I’m 30, I used to be obsessed with the books at 17, but I’d say they hold up greatly, especially the political aspects which for me make it stand out from other YA material.
