(I like to tell myself that Peeta is playing a double game and not really in love.)

The emotional entanglements she had to navigate were much more difficult for her, since she's so out of her depth, while hunting and killing is much easier.

I gave the book 5 out of 5 stars but I also love your review and you make some good points (it was also highly entertaining to read! :)). <br /><br />If you want a read that is morally controversial (in fact, it caused a lot of tension in Japan where it was initially published), read Battle Royale. I was highly impressed with that book.<br /><br />The premise of Battle Royale is similar in shield maidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758091283778981848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147716641797854066.post-80475643800421380272009-12-31T12:56:27.970-03:302009-12-31T12:56:27.970-03:30I think at the end, the mutts were supposed to me....I think at the end, the mutts were supposed to me... a psychological warfare tactic?
