I’m sorry. I cannot read any more of this. I’ll leave it and come back to it probably in 6 months as usual. I don’t get why everyone praises Suzanne Collins so much. Her writing is just normal. The trilogy didn’t blow me away or change my view permanently on books, it was just another series to me. It was painful to get through her books but I’m so glad it’s over. I cannot get through this one, even more than 20% in. This is a temporary DNF. I cannot bear her writing, I need a refresh.

1. Chapter

I cant quite make out anything right now.

I actually dont find Snow a bad person right now - exept of course for the games and caling people from districts scum.

But i found it cute how he made an entrance in the "new" shirt from Tigris. He cares about his family it seems now. But maybe (and more probably) he cares more about his and his family reputation and pride.

Looking at his situation - its dire... He must look skin and bones with what they "have" to eat. And the new tax law on Capitol hauses - must be suuuper horrifying.

Yeah i remember my self being young and ambicious. Young people have it in them. The dreams. The power to pursue them. How old is he anyways? Around 18?

the fact that Snow isn't a maniac but is in fact the perfect product of a capitalistic patriarchal society
