Convince us to read the book: This book needs a voice of its own. It has characters that speak almost exactly like Katniss Everdeen, and is almost written by her author. The characters are all static and do almost nothing.
Memorable or Forgettable: It is exactly like the Hunger Games, and it almost completely contradicts the first one. There is almost no plot, and she always is worrying about boys.
Cover: The cover is exactly like the book: pointless. I would never have picked it up, except for the reviews given by my group mates.
