The story is being told in the point of view of the main character, Katniss Everdeen. I like the authors choice because you get the perspective of someone who is actually participating in the Hunger Games and their experience. The story would be less interesting if it were, for example in the perspective of her mother or sister because the story would not change much. They would clearly be sad and trying to live without Katniss but not much would be changing. In the perspective of Katniss, there's always a new obstacle that she is taking on each day, which get's you intrigued to know what is going to happen with her next. I think the athour chose this point of view because it is definitely the most interesting role. Even if the story, everyone is always wondering what it is like to be in the Hunger Games, from what the buildings are like, the food, to how it feels to be in the arena. If I were given the choice I would not change the point of view because then I would always be wondering what's going on with her during the games, what has she been doing etc...
I think Katniss's point of view was the most interesting too but sometimes I think it would be cool if there were a few chapters written from the other competitors view. Probably Peeta and Cato and even Snow just to better understand their feelings and intents.
