Reviews
The book was an interesting addition for those that enjoy the original Hunger Games trilogy. Being a prequel, it is also suited to readers unfamiliar with the series. I enjoyed the plot of the story as it focused on the Games but also the characters that we had come to know and dislike in the other novels. At points it makes for very uncomfortable reading and forces us to look at humanity in a critical way. Although a dystopian novel, many of the characteristics of our current society are reflected in the writing. I would recommend this to confident readers who aren't afraid of a 'difficult to swallow' scene!

Gripping storyline and really enjoyed seeing this world from a different point of view. I couldn’t quite believe the author was able to make me empathise with Coriolanus Snow!
