Such a gorgeous book showing a behind the scenes from the movie. We get to see details of character design and family members that could have been!

I think most were apprehensive when going into this book afraid of a romanticization of Snow, Suzanne Collins does not let down because boy did I hate being in this man's mind in the best way! Certainly slower passed to the original trilogy and leans more on the philosophy side and metaphors to real life. We get to see a rougher side to the games and the future president as the games are first starting. The comparison to life is certainly less hidden behind spectacle both by the early beginning after the big civil war that started the games but also as the audience is now much older from the original publication of the trilogy. Fun look into how the games became what they were in the 74th-75th rendition and how this society was affected by the war. You certainly grow to hate Snow until it's almost disgusting to be inside his mind as we get a snippet of in his presidency.
