While a fairly easy yet intriguing read, this book feels unnecessary and doesn't really add anything of value to the world of Panem and The Hunger Games, beyond a glimpse of history.
As a fan of the Hunger Games trilogy I certainly found it interesting, but don't think I would be missing anything if I hadn't read it.
