Then he became a mentor and in 23 years he never had one be a winner so he had to see 46 tributes die while he watched. If we take a look at him he was the winner of the second quarter quill and as we know there were twice as many tributes he had to outlive. I have been thinking about these books a lot in the last few days of listening and I don’t think we give Haymitch enough credit. You can’t blame Katniss either she was what 11 and had to become strong enough to keep her family from starving. But you still really see that animosity Katniss has for her because of how she didn’t fight when her husband died. Even Katniss’s mother isn’t as shaky in the books as she was in the movies its odd to see her so capable. Johanna and Katniss form this odd friendship in this book it was more meaningful I think than what was in the movies. I keep saying this but I forgot how different yet similar the books and movies are. Anyway, this series is phenomenal and I urge everyone to try it at least once! She made Katniss come alive here and portrayed her brokenness perfectly. Real or not real?" *Sigh* Again, Tatiana Maslany narrated this brilliantly. She is broken and maybe nothing will bring her together, but she is trying! My heart broke for her so many times, my heart broke for Peeta, my poor broken heart broke some more for their relationship and then my heart shattered at the end!! No matted how many times I read this book, it never fails but to affect my emotions!! “You love me. She is heartbroken, depressed, sad, guilty and everything else and it's all battling inside her head. There is no way that anyone could stay the same having endured what Katniss and Peeta endured and I think Suzanne Collins reflected that in the way Katniss is in this. So many reviews say that this is the worst of the trilogy, but, for me anyway, this is right up there with the rest, just in a different way.
