While Sunrise on the Reaping may be Haymitch Abernathy's story, I was more enthralled with his girlfriend Lenore Dove's story. Much like her ancestor Lucy Gray, Lenore Dove is an independent thinker who loves nature, music, and literature. Both young ladies have a tendency to speak, or sing, their opinion of those in charge of the government and society. Haymitch is Lenore's true love. He is smarter and braver than he knows. He also becomes more abused and tormented that he could ever have imagined.
Sunrise on the Reaping is an intense story. In my opinion, the violence in this book seems a tad more excessive that in the previous Hunger Games books. Emotions run high before, during, and after the games for both characters and readers. I look forward to seeing the soon-to-be released movie version, and to discovering which I prefer most, the book or the movie.
