Ok, if you liked The Hunger Games I recommend that you
read this one too. It is a prequel
taking place in the early years of The Hunger Games. I'm not that into prequels but the 'hero?' of
this one is Coriolanus Snow. He becomes
a mentor to a girl from one of the Districts and ends up entangled with her
emotionally.
I felt the title was not particularly apt and the
reference to snakes gratuitous.
The writing isn't as taut as in The Hunger Games – don't
have too high expectations and you will find it readable.
I found The Hunger Games before it became a best seller, and absolutely loved it. I found the two sequels not quite up to the first book. I didn't have great expectations about this prequel. I may give this one a pass. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
