12/2023: Doing a re-read! I saw the movie and I was inspired to read the book again. I loved the movie!



A solid 4 stars....maybe 4.5 stars. The first 1/2 of the book is 5 star for sure, but then it gets a little loosey and drawn out. I didn't think I would enjoy hearing Coriolanus Snow's back story, but I was so wrong. To hear about his youth and his family---and most importantly the actual origin of the hunger games----this story is dazzling and oftentimes poetic. Maybe there will be more coming for this series??? We can only hope.
