I’ve read catching fire 6 times before this but this is my first time reading it in a while, but it’s a super good read, and it’s never dull which is nice.

This is my favourite book of all time. I have yet to read another book that makes me feel a grand scale of emotions.  I love this book with all my heart and all I can say is read it. It is a relatively fast read and it will change your life and your outlook on life.

I think this is a very very good book. The only thing for me was the ending was quite predictable which wasn’t a bad thing but I just prefer to not fully know how it’s gonna end. This book really makes you reflect on your own life and makes you conceder the opportunities you have in your life. It is quite a fast read and I recommend that everyone should at least read it once.
