This was so that the districts would be reminded that for every Capitol citizen that died in the first rebellion, two rebels were killed. In the Quarter Quell that Haymitch won, however, four tributes would be chosen to compete from each district, as opposed to the usual two. Quarter Quells have special rules and features, such as the Mutt creations. This often massively changed the games - for example, one important rule shown in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is that the tributes are chosen from previous victors, which defined the entire event. A Quarter Quell is a special variation of the Hunger Games, which takes place every 25 years, meaning Haymitch won the 50th Games. Thank you Suzanne Collins, Tatiana Muslany, the company who produced the book, the company who published it(I don’t know the name, Schooltastic I think) and of course Audible! It is an extremely gripping read and it’s easy to listen to.In the second book, Catching Fire, it is revealed that Haymitch won a Quarter Quell. I found it extremely clever to make it a clock! Wow, must of taken ages to write a book this awesome. I would definitely recommend this book to absolutely everyone who likes dystopian books. One thing is that for some reason all males either sound like Peeta or Haymitch. Tatiana Muslany(Sorry if I spelt it wrong!) is a wonderful voice for Katniss. I didn’t understand until I read it on the Hunger Games wiki. I was laughing when Finnick was ‘flirting’ with Katniss. Tomorrow I will finally watch the movie, then get Mockingjay. And we didn’t get as much info about other tributes unlike the first book. I was really annoyed(?) that why Suzanne Collins didn’t go in depth about the victory tour. I found it a tad boring in the beginning. One thing I have a problem with is that why is the Quarter Quell only a couple of chapters long! And the time before it wasn’t really needed. I’m 11, and this book has had me gripping my hands in suspense while trying to sleep! I normally listen to around 5 chapters a day and finished this book fairly quickly.
