I think this is evidenced by the change from the primarily action driven first book to the gradual transition in the second (Catching Fire) and third book (Mockingjay) which drifted toward more emotional and psychological themes which older and perhaps more serious readers would find interesting.
I completely agree. The first two were much more YA books than the third. As Katniss matured so did the themes in the books.

I agree! I had to keep reading certain bits again to make sure that I'd actually understood it becuase it seemed to happen so fast and leave some bits out
