First of all let me start with the fact that I enjoyed the book. However I think the hype about it made my expectations way to high.
First of all I don't understand why Haymitch is alive and the only reason I can come up with is plot armor. Afther he blew up the watertank Ampert got eaten by the squirls, why didnt he just got eaten by the squirls aswell? Yeah they programmed them specialy for him but let's be fair how difficult would it be to get Haymitch killed in the arena. Snow told him basicly he was never gonna make it out alive, so why did he?
Second I didnt like the pacing of the hunger games part. It felled rushed and it felt like story couldn't breath. Especialy the end.
Third those laster chapters with the poem. It broke the immersion every time.
Fourth Lenor Dove. I don't get why she ate the random candies she found. Second she died and I felt Ma and Sid didnt really matter anymore. It was only wailing about Lenor. The love story was exactly how I depict 16 year olds being in love and it was so annoying. I am not sure if that makes it good or not.
