Suzanne Collins really does the whole " successful source " thing the good . create her money , disappears , drops a surprisal Scripture every once in a while . Well done .

reminder that suzanne collins herself has say that she only writes these books when she has something to say.it ’s not turn a loss on me that dawning on the reaping is about the power of propaganda and PR , and how it distorts our belief in our own reality .
