I really enjoyed this book. This is not a romance! I know this book is listen on many enemies to lovers lists but this is NOT a romance book! If you go into it expecting a great love story or redemption ark you will be greatly disappointed. Point of this book is to show how little by little, using fear and propaganda as weapons anyone's morals can be skewed. How ordinary people become spectators that cheer on the gruesome murders of the innocent children.

@suzannecollins, I love you

I could write a whole book about HOW GOOD ALL COLLINS' WORKS ARE! God, I was sooo captivated the whole times! It's crazy what a difference it makes to read Coriolanus' thoughts. Like in the movie, you could somehow sympathize with Snow at the beginning (- who gave them the right to choose Tom Blyth and make him so handsome?) or think that there's a transition from good to evil, that his madness would be triggered, but in the book it was always there. You notice straight away how self-centered, selfish and unscrupulous he is. *insert sparkle emoji* It was really intense to learn more about the origin of the hunger games and Snow's role in it.
