I had heard that this book "isn't for the faint of heart" but was not fully prepared for the last few chapters to WRECK ME

During one of the times I sat down to read this novel, I was sitting in my backyard trying to absorb sunlight. I heard a bird chirp and land on the nearest power line to my house. It was dove-colored. If my bird-loving partner was here, she could have probably identified what it was just from its voice. 
I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be crazy if that was actually a dove?"
Returning inside, I looked up what a dove looks like. It was a dove. What the fuck???

I first read the Hunger Games books in elementary school. Haymitch was my favorite. I couldn't pick up on the historical or political undertones at the time, but even without that knowledge, the books were still massively enjoyable and inspiring to me. 

As an adult, these books make my heart ache even more. You really don't realize how young the characters are until you are past that age yourself. You can't mirror the extreme emotions the characters go through about their loved ones until you experience what love really means to yourself.  
 
Oh man, I knew I was in for a trip as soon as I recognized Lenore's name as an allusion to The Raven. Well, I knew that this book was going to be crazy way before since it's about Haymitch's life. Going in, you already know that he gets a good ending, but he has suffered through so much, like Katniss. Jeez, how he's suffered.

It was a delight(?) to see the return of Mags, Wiress and Beetee. It was a despair to learn about the existence of Ampert, the close proximity of Burdock and Asterid. I didn't even know (or remember that) they had names.


I'm not sure if I can even begin to express all my thoughts here. I have far too many. It's great. Read the damn book.
