because I've seen the film I had a pretty good mental picture of what i was reading. great book, loved the extra details that are missing in the film. especially the brief run-through of haymitch's games, and extra characters we don't get to see on screen

thoughts while reading
p227: suzanne collins needs to write about haymitch's games! it's probably the only way we'll ever get a film of it as well, so she must! and while she's at it, how about one for finnick too? 
p228: so much for not telling haymitch
p245: not darius! no!

"Careful," he says weakly. "There's a forcefield up ahead." 

yeah bro, we got that!

p319: it's great deal easier to catch the foreshadowing of how the games end in this book than it is in the film
p330: aww, katniss is a lot more trusting of finnick than she is in the film and I'm here for it
p364: good job girlie, it is a

clock

. props to wiress for figuring it out ages ago. what happened to her that traumatised her so badly?

Enjoyed this one more than book 1. Kept the fast pace and ramped up the stakes. A solid middle story.
