While most upcoming book adaptations happen years after the release of a given novel, the latest "Hunger Games" book was announced at the same time as its movie counterpart last summer. Suzanne Collins’ novel has been in fans’ hands for just a little less than three weeks at this point, and many are still emotionally processing the full story behind Haymitch Abernathy’s Hunger Games. Wildly enough, though the author recently provided some really interesting insight into the book's development.
We know we certainly imagined a reality where "Sunrise on the Reaping" was told from the perspective of the Haymitch introduced in the original "Hunger Games" trilogy. Suzanne Collins just shared that she actually considered going in that direction.
