4.0

The only painful thing about this book was how much Katnis can’t figure out her feelings. Otherwise this was a great follow up to book one and doesn’t suffer much from the “middle book syndrome” most 2nd books in a trilogy do.

This was a re-read for me. The book was absolutely devastating. I forgot how heartbreaking the story is, particularly the first half of the book . It's a crazy experience to feel such sympathy for fictional characters.

How is it possible that I enjoyed this book even more than the first one? Katniss’ world is in flux and it felt like there was a constant stream of twists and turns. This book definitely sets up the third book, but it didn’t feel like a middle book in a trilogy. It has much less fighting/hunger games than the first book but a lot of uncertainty and character development in the face of the Panem’s changes. My heart aches for Peeta…

I am so glad I reread this book. When I first read it, I was only 12, and I did not understand any of the political commentary.
