A very nice collector's item. There was about one illustration per chapter. A few of them I would want framed, especially Katniss in the fire dress. I appreciate how

none of the illustrations contained any explicit violence because that felt like it would have missed the point

My one minor criticism is that I wish the pages between the illustrations would have been decorated a bit more.

This is one of the biggest books of the 21st century for a reason. The overall plot and message of the book are captivating and very well-conceived. However, I have a few pretty big complaints. First, this book definitely could have used another pass in the editing process. The grammar is below par and the voice of the narrator is…questionable. Speaking of the narrator, Katniss is not a particularly consistent or well-rounded character. Almost none of the characters in this book are,. Especially Peeta Mellark. Peeta was boring at best and insufferable at worst. The half-baked “romance” is the main thing that made this book a solid “meh” for me. Katniss would have benefitted from not attracted to men in any way. Overall, I think the dystopian world of The Hunger Games is fascinating, and the anti-authoritarian message becomes more important every year But in almost every other way, this book falls flat. I do want to know what happens afterwards, but (forgive me, bookworms) I think I’ll just watch the movies.
