The first time I ever read this book was right before the first movie came out. I remembered it being my least favorite, and not liking the things that happened to Peeta, and hating Gale because I wanted Katniss to be with Peeta and because of what happened to Prim. But after reading this again after about 4 years, my feelings have completely changed. While rereading the series, I never felt that dislike for Gale that I remembered having. Reading this one, I just felt really sad for him. I'm sure I'll always be rooting for Katniss and Peeta, but I'm really sad about how Gale was knocked out of the running for her heart. I'm sad I'm done with the series, even though it's not a new read for me. It touched on so many important issues, and I'm glad I finally made myself revisit the story.
