The Hunger Games was a lot better than this one, since Collins has set the bar so high with it, but it was still just as entertaining and compelling, disregarding the first part, which was very slow-paced. 
 Unfortunately for me I had seen the movie before reading the book so the major events weren't surprising in the least, but that's my fault really. I can imagine how it would've been if I had read the book first. 
 I absolutely love the characters, specially Finnick's, but I still don't like Peeta. 
 Overall, it was gripping and had I not been busy I would have read it all in the same day, which is what I plan to do with Mockingjay. 
 The revolution has started, now we fight back.
