Review
The book, as usual, is better than the movie. In this prequal to the Hunger Games we learn more about the man who will become president in the timeline we're accustomed to. The life he's forced to lead, the charade he's required to upkeep, all goes into making him the man he comes to be. One of the more valuable parts of the book, which is missing from the movies, is Snow's internal monologue. His thoughts and personal rationale for his actions lead to a deeper level of character development than what the movie allows. We get to understand him on a deeper level, can see how his thinking leads him to his own common-sense decisions (though I by no means like him at any point or agree with his actions). He is very much the anti-hero of this tale, and we can see how Panam will continue to evolve under his rule.
