Wow, what a crazy backstory for Snow.
Do not read this book if you think it’ll be a light read. It is not.

The idea of the book was interesting, but I would have loved to read more about the game itself. I liked that the book showed more of the “behind the scenes” of the game but still I would have wanted more of the game. Especially the ending of the game just fell flat.
I really didn’t like how Snow was complaining about being poor, having to eat cabbage soup etc when he lived in a nice house in the Capitol. And simultaneously his tribute was from a really poor district.
This book felt like a cash grab, haven’t seen the movie so I don’t know whether it’s better or worse. I would have loved to read a book about Haymitch and his time in the game, or Finnick instead.
