Story Critique
I thought that this book was very adventurous. It never lost my attention. If I had to choose this would be my favorite out of the whole series. I was very upset when Peeta got captured by the Capital but it just made me want to keep reading. It is full of detail and emotion almost like I am actually part of the book.
