<\/span>After re-reading Catching Fire<\/a> it was inevitable that I’d go back and read the final volume of the trilogy again.
\nWhen I first read the book<\/a> I read it so quickly that some of the emotional impact was lost on me.
\nThis time round I really felt moved by all the horrors that the characters go through and in particular I keenly felt Katniss’ pain in the scene with Buttercup right at the end of the book.
\nI know some people are never going to like this kind of dystopian fiction but this is a genuinely powerful book and I think it’s well worth giving a shot even if you don’t think it’s for you.<\/p>\n
