There was a few points the book can be considered slow but I liked the development of the characters in these parts and I thought had perfect pacing. I was a little shocked by the ending. Doesn't seem there is much to go on to get to the next book. I would have never thought to make this a three book series on so little. It may be enough to peak my curiosity and read the next book to see where the author and characters go from here.
I believe Katniss' blindness about Peeta and Gale. Before The Hunger Games she was a 16 year old with a lot of responsibility than most and is more focus on feeding her family so they don't starve.
The writing could have been better but the storyline wins out.
