One of those scenarios (like many horror movies) where you're reading it and going "Holy shit I would not last a day." I would have been sprinting right towards that cornucopia and some career would have finished me off.
And frankly, it's good to see a book with a very strong female character that would appeal equally to young (and 20 something, hah) boys and girls. Although I did read that many feel Katniss's character was still manipulated too much in the third book to really come full circle.

The third is worth reading though. Katniss has to face that manipulation and everything just as she did in the Hunger Games themselves, but does have agency.
