Just a baby bird

It was a good back story of the queen to see where she came from and why and how she became evil

Not my favorite kind of book. But well written and interesting all the same. Probably won't read this author again.

This novel introduced the reader to the gruesome and brutal world of the Hunger Games. It focuses on the dynamics of the Capitol immediately following a devastating civil war, where the leaders decide to punish the rebellious districts by demanding female and male tributes in a manner reminiscent of the ancient Greek Theseus myths. What is most fascinating in this novel is the origin story of the series most sadistic villain: Coriolanus Snow. As I read, it surprised me how much Collins can make the reader understand his overarching ambition, his continual fear of losing status and his single minded determination to regain the wealth and prestige his family enjoyed before the predations of the war. As Corio continually reminds himself: "snow always lands on top" no matter what. His dynamic with Lucy Gray is simultaneously repellent and intriguing. He is attracted to her free spirit even as he considers himself her superior in every way. This is a must read novel to understand the origins of the Hunger Games universe.

Because of all the grossness

Good

I gave the book a three star. It was an interesting and vividly written story. However it did feel like we took the scenic route to nowhere in particular. I still do not completely understand the ending and it felt way to open ended for me. Though it was for the most part enjoyable.
