As a huge fan of the original trilogy, I really enjoyed the prequel. I decided to read it before seeing the film as i always feel the need to read the book first. I really liked all the nods to the original trilogy and reading the theories afterwards that Lucy Grey is related to Katniss. I found it an interesting character study of how Snow starts off as a seemingly 'good' person and slowly turns to evil throughout the course of the book.
