Was Katniss ever portrayed as that intelligent though? She always seemed fairly slow to pick up on things and people got impatient with her about that quite a lot...so for me that felt consistent throughout the two books. A bit frustrating in a protagonist, I agree, but a legitimate choice.

I just this second saw this bookcover and am utterly in love with its pretty. But the book itself sounds ARGH NO.
