Did not slap as hard as the movies.
I listened to this because I never got to complete reading the series as a teenager. However the writing.. yikes. It felt like the story was written in bullet point format. Then we would get in depth dream like explanations when they were least wanted. *Minor spoiler* We are in 13s bunker for like 60% of the book.
The characters are still loveable. (I LOVE that Katniss is a total bitch!! I ENJOY it!!) The story still holds up after all this time. I can’t wait to watch the movies again.
