This is a book that requires at least two read throughs to really soak everything in, I believe, because there's just so much meaning hidden behind the beautiful writing. Collins masterfully crafts Snows' backstory in a way that leaves no question about his morals and character being corrupt while also portraying this in a way that has you at the edge of your seat. This is a story about an evil man, not because of his background or upbringing but simply because of who he is, and the lengths he's willing to go to in order to preserve his status.
But as is common with all of Suzanne Collins' work we also are gifted with the messages of fascism, the dangers of government overstep, and the resilience that beats at the heart of humanity.

Writing was pretty well done. Characters generally behaved in a way that was consistent with their motivations, though one decision was more plot driven than believable in my opinion.

It's a hunger games book. The elitism and callous disregard for life are rife throughout the book. Though it's on the shorter side and classified as a young adult book, I would not recommend for an audience younger than late teens at least.gildedspines's review against another edition
