If you've read the first three Hunger Games books, you know who wins the 50th Anniversary of the Games, but you don't know the story behind it. Haymitch Abernathy was District 12's mentor to the games when Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark were reaped. He was a drunken, disinterested former victor-but how did he get that way? What happened to him during his own time in the arena that shaped who he had become? I have been so anxious for this book to come out, I had to read it right away and it DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. Fans of the Hunger Games will devour this prequel-I literally could not put it down. It's also fascinating (and frightening) to see how authoritarianism can happen to a country so quickly and so devastatingly when people are afraid to speak up and speak out. Suzanne Collins may prove to be prescient one day.
