I came into this book with sky-high expectations and, for the most part, it definitely met them! The beginning started out a bit rocky for me because I kept getting pulled out of the story by little details - like the fact that they're starving but still manage to have TVs. Those are things I don't think would have bothered me at all as a younger reader (the books main audience). 
 Then, holy buckets Batman, we got into the Games arena and the book just took off! I don't think I've ever read a book with a middle this strong. I loved it! Rue was definitely my fave, and I wish they would have found a way to bring her back. Plus, this was where Katniss felt strongest as a character - before and after the games, she's a little wishy-washy and scared, which is understandable.
