I had never read the books before this, but I have previously watched all the films. In comparison to the films I love this book so much more. The characters are so well written and I felt such a connection with each of them individually. Every scene with Rue broke my heart, especially knowing what happens in the films. SPOILERS AHEAD! The scene where we the readers and Katniss find out about Peeta's amputation I was in SHOCK, why was this never in the films!! The end line of the book however left me wanting more, you'll never guess what I am reading next!?
Moderate: Animal death, Child death, and Violence
