I really liked the first half of this book, but I felt it dragged on after the games until the last few chapters which held so many plot twists I didn’t see coming at all. I can’t wait to see how the movie turns out!!

THIS BOOK WAS SO AMAZING OH MY GOD. at first, it was a little slow and i have to be honest, i had my doubts. but, i should NEVER doubt suzanne collins’ talent. she’s absolutely amazing and her story arcs never fail to leave my jaw dropped. i hope to see this turned into a movie, i know it won’t disappoint!!!
