An interesting look into how the Hunger Games were developed and changed into what they were in the main trilogy.
I hate Snow; he's a delusional, psychopathic, megalomaniac, however I was intrigued enough to keep reading (listening) and find out what happens next.
There were many likeable and even lovable characters in this novel, and many of them gave Snow opportunities to see the wrongs of the capital, to grow as a person, and to be loved and have healthy relationships, but he sees them all as beneath him and just uses them. 

I think the last encounter between Snow and Lucy Gray really shows his true character and what a delusional person he is; as I listened to his make up this story in his head that painted him as a victim and Lucy Gray as someone who has betrayed him and come up with some crazy plot to turn him in, all I could do was angrily grip my steering wheel as I thought of several more likely scenarios from Lucy Gray's point of view. I think this was the last string that snapped, and that we start to see the real monster he becomes from this scene as well as the epilogue.

Overall, I did enjoy this book, despite my undying hatred and total lack of sympathy for its' main character.
