I was already in college when this book came out, I didn't have the immediate connection to Katniss that I would have had I read it as a teen. With that said though it has been almost a decade since I last read the series and it still stands up. 
This has caused some discourse in the book circles I am in but I believe Suzanne Collins to be the progenitor of the modern-day dystopian genre.
