Overview

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

Though admittedly this book is slower than the other two books, it is absolutely necessary to tie the two together and therefore I really like it. I finally form solid opinions about characters and such, something I couldn't do in the Hunger Games and I start to understand a lot of the metaphors, etc. The narrator isn't my favorite but after listening to the Hunger Games I am used to her by now. This book is definitely important to get to my favorite of the three, Mockingjay.

Great reader!

I liked this book but it was a little more plodding and slow than the other two. The storyline and character development are needed for the grand finish of Mockingjay though. Narrator still doesn't seem appropriate for the character's ages.

I have to say that I'm not that impressed with the narrator. Her reading almost distracts me from the story but I do like listening and being able to do other things while doing this
