President Snow long before he became President.
If you are as interested in how President Snow became the man we saw in Katniss Everdeen's trilogy you're wait is over. Mostly, it covers a short period of time. Let Suzanne Collins take you back to Panem. We find an 18 year old Coriolanus Snow preparing for his part in the upcoming 10th Hunger Games. Reading this book fills in some of the why's and how's of the character. Most of what we know about the man is from the movies as he was barely featured in her book trilogy. Collins gives us HER take on this very interesting time of the young man's life. When I finished the book I wanted more. They may say the Hunger Games books are for 'young adults' but I say they're good for anyone older as well. She creates interesting characters and puts them into dangerous situations that they have to survive. And in the process they (and we) learn some things about themselves and human nature. Good and bad. I'm over 50 and I love these books.

What an Ending!
1 of 1 found this helpful If you're a fan of WWE then this line-up was a real treat. With everything from newcomers like Apollo Crews and Baron Corbin facing off against Seamus and Dolph Ziggler in individual matches to the ever popular ladder match where the PPV gets it's name, there's a lot going on here. And let's not forget, for the first time anywhere, the Dream Match, John Cena vs AJ Styles. It pretty much lived up to the hype too. Which is saying something with it all being scripted anyway. Someone rally earned their paycheck with the results of the world championship match. The return of Seth Rollins, wanting 'his' belt back and fighting Roman Reigns to get it. And before he gets a chance to really celebrate, here comes Dean Ambrose! Nice touch having each of the former members of The Shield holding the title at some point during the night. With the way some of the matches go, both on TV and at PPV's, it was nice to actually be surprised by some of the stuff that went on during this PPV. All said, I really enjoyed watching. Funny thing, so did my 88 yr old mother.
