Seems like a lot of people were left disappointed by this, but I personally enjoyed it.

I found the insight into how the Hunger Games came to be really interesting. I also found the insight into how Mr Snow turned out the way he did very fascinating.

Interestingly, whilst it didn't happen with the original Hunger Games trilogy, I really found myself questioning the morality of the hunger games. Mainly how the privileged people of the Capitol used it as a form of entertainment. I get it was their way of punishing the people of the districts (or the rebels), but it really was so wrong on so many levels.

Talking of which, I really despised Dr Gaul! She was horrid!
