I have always llved Suzanne Collin's every-chapter-leaves-a-cliffhanger style that makes reading these books extremely fast paced. I wanted to read this one because I was interested in Haymitch's games. It was interesting to get the true POV and to know both actual version of events as well as the Capitol edited version and the bits we learned from the main series. Great to see characters we know from Katniss' books make appearances especially characters who become important in the 2nd and 3rd books.
