I tried to read this book but I couldn't get into it. As the book is taken from Katniss' perspective, I couldn't help but be reminded of when I read Twilight and how much I hated learning the story from Bella's perspective. Instead I made it through this book listening to the audio version. Hearing it spoken was a lot better than my own interpretation in my head.

The dystopian setting and some of the comparisons between factions illustrated an interesting premise. I think what soured the story a bit for me was the contrived love story between characters. Although Katniss could be seen as a strong female character, I had trouble believing that she couldn't tell the dudes were in love with her and her own torment about that when her skill is observation and listening for survival.

I wanted to reread in prep for the new book coming out next week. Just as good if not better than the first time I read it!
