The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

One thing I did find interesting, was the constant ancient Roman allusions. Many of the names (such as Cato), even the name of the nation itself (Panem), coming from the latin word for bread. And even the whole setting, of a government giving its citizens entertainment to pacify them using warriors in an arena fighting to the death.

I think there was more Collins could have done with that. Of course, this was a kid's book as Punchy so artfully and articulately explained.

I tend to think the wolf things were something the Capitol had been working on from the very beginning.

Forgot that they had been there for a while before that.

I got an email from Audible.com and they have this and other first books from different series super cheap.

By the way, I really enjoyed the other two volumes. I highly recommend them.

I picked them up on my Kindle, I definitely want to read them when I get the chance.
