    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 it in my fifties and enjoyed it. Afterwards I read some of the other popular YA novels of the time, thinking they must be good as well, but found most of them frankly pretty tedious. But Hunger Games was a decent read.

      I think it’s still worth reading, that series in particular is very well done in that it can be enjoyed by a large age range. I was a teen when it first came out and read it with my dad who also enjoyed it.

      Some of the writing and plot may be more simplistic/young than a book targeted towards a more adult/mature audience but that’s not a bad thing imo

    3. absolutely! i just read BOSAS because the movie’s coming out and i really enjoyed it. now that i’ve seen the BOSAS movie adaptation, i’m strongly considering going back to read the entire series. it definitely is enjoyable across all age groups, go for it

      Oh cmon…

      You can’t decide if you should read a book or not? You NEEEED Reddit and strangers to decide this for you?

      Are you so devoid of an actual human personality that you can’t just…. read something on your own? You need validation from strangers first?

      No one tell OP. Let them figure out ON THEIR OWN if they are…. allowed to read a book or not.

      Good god this is pathetic.
