This was definitely my favorite of the series. I'm no fan of young adult fiction, so a small part of me dies by admitting this, but this is one of the best representations of how unglamorous and brutal revolutions can be. There's no clear right and wrong and the war is won not in the streets, but through the media. The plot meanders at times and the end falls apart completely. But it's ok, cause the meat of this book is the first half when the never-quite-made-points in the first 2 books about media culture come to fruition.

Peeta is just as creepy as ever, but it's intentional this time and he's gone for long portions of the book, so it's ok.
