It was pretty good, but not an overall favorite. I wasn’t too fond of the whole

“the mutts are actually the dead tributes”

thing, but it does help convey the horrors and atrocities that the Capital and the game makers commit during the games.

Overall, it was well written and a pretty good read, especially if you’re in a reading slump.

Moderate: Death of parent and Grief

The reason I included mental illness is because of Katniss’ PTSD from the death of her father.

This was such a fun rereading experience. I found a copy at a library sale and thought it would be a good book to break up the thriller I’m supposed to read for book club, but once I started I couldn’t stop! My sleep schedule this week was so bad because I couldn’t put this book down.
