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?
Read whatever you’re comfortable with.
I still have boxes of YA fiction I read as a teen. Honestly, I don’t reread them. They are better as fond memories.
There’s no harm in giving it a shot. If you don’t enjoy it, then just ask a kid what they thought of it.
