Suzanne Collins is a genius. The detail she puts into her books, all the little connections she makes to the original series. It blew my mind. But, I did not enjoy reading this book. Snow is easily the most unlikeable character ever written. Is it brilliant writing? Yes, of course. But my hatred for Snow grew tenfold as I read this book. What a horrible person. How does so much hatred and complete disregard for human life exist in one person. The only consolation I get is knowing that he dies in the end. And everything he worked so hard for is destroyed by a rebel from district 12. Karma will always bite you in the ass.
