I was bawling by the end. Even though I knew there was no way his family was alive based on the original series, I was still crying my eyes out when it happened.
I loved seeing Haymitch's true story and everything he experienced that made him into the person we saw in The Hunger Games. To know more about everything he went through is really gut wrenching. It is amazing he didn't turn out even worse than what he was. He just drank himself into a stupor, but truly never hurt anyone after that.
I am loving their little banters back and forth. As well as Kit learning more and more about these other men on the ship. He is growing as a person and exploring not only the world but himself.
