dark sad tense

God that was so brutal. Probably the saddest of all the books. Really had the same tone and energy of the first two books.

And I thought the first four Hunger Games books were devestating. They absolutely have nothing on this. I fear for the movie, as I doubt it can truly capture the horror and heartbreak Haymitch endures. There is no teenage love story in this arena, just a boy trying to survive as literal children are slaughtered. That is a fact the earlier books and movies let slide a little, with the older protagonists who keep to themselves. But Haymitch's attachment to the younger competetors refuses to let you look away or romanticize the slaughter.

What a page turner. I was consistantly on the edge of my seat. I felt like a teenager all over again who fell in love with reading for the first time. It's been a while since i could say that I had a hard time putting a book down and that is thanks to the supsense and cliffhangers that Suzanne put in the very end of each of her chapters. 
The most impressing part of this book besides her ability to bring poetry into so much darkness is the fact that you know what is to come and yet she manages to create disbelief and shock. What a trip this book was and I can't recommend it enough for those who wish to learn to love reading. 
Besides the overuse of songs and a couple of cheap fan service that can be forgiven you can't deny the intelligence in the writing in which the consistant parallel with our world can't be ignored.

Suzanne Collin’s is a genius! Every book she writes expands the world of Panem is such a spectacular way I’m convinced she’s had it planned all along. 

I’m also convinced she’s read Crimson Rivers based on Haymitch’s Homecoming. I would hypothesize she is Bizarrestars but their writing styles are too different.
