It's very boring. The only interesting part for me was the games, and once that was over, the book dragged for me hard-core. The book was completely unnecessary, but I did enjoy learning how Snow was so influential to how the games became how they were when Katniss joined. Snow is evil, possessive, and a psychopath...we knew that though. I'm glad Lucy got away. I don't honestly recommend reading this. You don't need to.
