Yeah, Katniss (sounds like "Cat-niss") is a bit bitchy. I just think she has a reason to be so hard because she's the one that supports her family. She doesn't have the time or patience for happy, silly crap. And I agree about the badly written part. Well, it's not badly written, but it's too simple. This novel runs solely on its slow plot. And if you can't stand Katniss now, drop the book and run. She doesn't particularly get better in Catching Fire or Mockingjay.
