Better than the first
Loved the audio book reading by Carolyn McCormick -- for all three books in this series! I would rather listen to these books than read them in print or on a kindle. I don't want to include spoilers, but the book did not end the way I thought it might and there are plenty of twists and surprises in store. In my opinion, parts of this book moved along more slowly than in the previous 2, but I enjoyed it, anyway. Loved the epilogue, personally, as it did serve to clear up a potential lingering question, "what becomes of these characters later?" It also, I think, squelches the possibility of a sequel, which is fine by me. A special treat on the audio CD is to hear author Suzanne Collins at the end explain the origination of this series and what it means to her. I think the whole series was brilliant and I love the potential political and moral discussions to be had with the premise of the books.
