Why did I love this book?
Sometimes we think of a rebel as an out-of-control, crazy hooligan when most of the time it is a normal, humble person who has been pushed to their limits due to unfair circumstances. Katniss, the main character, was very relatable to me. I’m protective of my little sisters, and I know what it’s like to live in harsh conditions. What I loved about Katness though is that she went from protecting her sister to fighting for all the districts, later in the series. She was selfless and had a true service to humanity mentality which is rare.
