I was on the fence about reading this. I really like the original Hunger Games books and enjoy stories about how people become the way they are. But I really don't care about President Snow, and the reviews were mixed. But then I saw the movie trailer for the adaptation and decided I had to read the book if I wanted to watch the movie.

The book was more interesting than I anticipated and I'm glad I picked it up. Now how are they going to fit a 16 hour audiobook into one movie and do it justice?? Give me an 8 hour movie, I'll watch it. 👀
