MAN, do I hate Snow, but kudos to Collins for writing a character that I both hate and want to read more of. It got a little slow at one point, but well worth the read if you enjoyed The Hunger Games.

I think I am too much of an empathetic person to take from this book what is meant to be taken. I wonder if everyone would feel the same disdain toward Snow in this book if we had read it before the Hunger Games Trilogy.

Being inside youngSnows head was brutal. You hate him. And the second you start to root for him or pity him Suzanne Collins reminds you WHY you hated Snow to begin with
