Suzanne Collins kills it every time! Fantastically harrowing book. I'm glad Haymitch's story has finally been told, and it was great to see the beginnings of some very well loved characters.

Someone in the reviews said this book is suitable for ages 12+. DO NOT LET YOUR 12-YEAR-OLD READ THIS. There is a copious amount of violence and several complicated themes, especially for someone who may not know how to process what they read.

It's a great book. Just not for your kid who just became eligible to be reaped in the first place. I mean, you've got kids being ripped apart by squirrels. One tribute stabbed to death by pink birds with knife-sharp beaks. One literally decapitated. The final fight includes a tribute's eye being gouged out with a knife, and the victor literally having to hold his own intestines to keep them from falling out.

Flew through it. Collins got a lot better at making the reader feel something for the characters left behind in the district. Generally, a lot of ends got tied in neatly, but sometimes too much so. (E.g. Haymitch figuring out Lucy Grey's and Snows involvement with each other)
