ok. first off. i WILL BE SUING FOR CINNA’S DEATH. HE DIDN’T DESERVE THAT! 

when peeta said “if it weren’t for the baby” my soul left my body. 

don’t get me started on finnick. he is an angel. i will forever love him. he deserves every sugar cube in the entire world. when he tried to protect mags i cried. i actually cried. more for him than for her honestly. i’m nominating mags as my new grandma. 

a note to katniss: JUST MARRY THE BOY WITH THE BREAD OH MY GOODNESS! peeta is so perfect and he always puts her over him. 

this was a pretty good book overall!

As someone who only watched the movies I loved the book. The characters more fleshed out, Katniss more unreliable narrator. Peeta being undeniably good. The story had such a flow that I couldn't stop reading. The deaths in the book hit harder than any movie could which makes me feel nervous for Mockingjay.

This second instalment of the Hunger Games trilogy continues the series explosive and visceral storytelling with a new harrowing chapter. Katniss and Peeta have survived the horrors of the Hunger Games, but now they have unwittingly ignited the spark of revolution. This volume continues the series' commentary on the decadent Capital and its excesses, in contrast to the desperation and unrest of the Districts. Similarly, the depth of critique of state surveillance is great, surprising readers in 2009 but less novel to contemporary readers, revealing much about our current society. The twists and turns of this book build toward its terrifying conclusion and a new paradigm that might change the course of a nation. Amazing book that I could not put down!

Did I love the Haymitch/Gale infodump in the last chapter? No. 
No, I didn't. 

Did I like the District 11 dude kissing Katniss on the mouth and basically assaulting her? 
No. I didn't like that either. 

Truly loved the rest of the book though.
