It is so hard to describe this book, I have never read one quite like this one (nor have I read three books in one week...during school too). It was quite the emotional ride, but in the end, I seemed to be satisfied. Its amazing what Suzanne Collins was able to do with this book. It was entertaining, certainly, but it could also be considered a sort of commentary on government, which makes it very thought provoking.
After feverishly reading this book for the past week, when I finished, I hardly knew what to do with myself. Should I cry or cheer? I ended up doing a little of both I think.
So, here's some quotes, just to get you interested
“Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when it's morning again, they'll wash away
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.”

Here is the place where I love you.”
“You know, you could live a thousand lifetimes and not
deserve him.”
“What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright
yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go
on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.”
“I think....you still have no idea. The effect you can have.”
