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.

I will never forgive Suzanne Collins for writing this book. I should be sleeping peacefully in my bed and instead I am ugly sobbing in my bathroom. I literally can’t breath from how clogged my nose is. This book was so good, but so completely devastating. Of the Hunger Games books, this is without a doubt the most brutal and viscerally heart wrenching. However, it gives brilliant insight into the work of Panem and how the rebellion, that we see in the original trilogy, started. Haymitch is such a wonderfully complicated character and this insight into his life and why he is the way he is, though heartbreaking, truly is one of the best additions to the series. Although heartbreaking, there is an underlying message of holding onto hope in the face of adversity, because you cannot win the match if you do not play the games. It is important to do more than just sit around and watch, you have to fight for the change you want to see in the world.

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.
