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?
To preface, I am not someone who seeks out YA literature. I have found it’s mostly just not for me (no judgment upon other adults who love it, truly!).
BUT! I picked up The Hunger Games in my late 20s and absolutely burned through them. It’s some of the most profoundly radical and politically important young adult literature I’ve ever read. You will love it. A must.
