Part 3, Chapter 20:
"Who can't lie, Peeta?"
FINALLY they mention Clove's name so I can refer to her by name. That means all six characters remaining have actual names, which is a pleasant feeling. Only took killing three quarters of the cast before they narrowed it down to six of the eight characters they bothered naming in this book. Unfortunately, the knowledge of Clove's name is really not important in this chapter, which is just lame. I wanna be able to say Clove Clove Clove a lot.
But anyway, more curing Peeta, who's apparently f***ed up to the point where even Katniss' surprisingly good medical skills (given that she has like, half a dozen kinds of medicine). And then Katniss tells a story about a goat, which is extremely boring because seriously, who the hell cares about a damn goat? Coincidence that this story relates back to Prim and is awful? I think not. But yeah, this story really sucks, and even hearing the REAL version is just more sucking overall. I mean, the only difference between the real version and Katniss' fake version is that the fake one takes one sentence to tell and not multiple pages.
Then the feast is announced and Peeta's gonna be a d*** about Katniss trying to save him. I mean, REALLY? REALLY, Peeta? Fortunately, Haymitch is a clever mother-f***er when it comes to thinking of stuff while semi-sober, and he sends Katniss medicine to knock Peeta out so he won't f*** this up for her. Good work, Haymitch! And then Katniss sneaks that medicine into Peeta's food against his will, and then forces him to swallow it. Seriously, Katniss is so boss in that last scene...the only way it'd be better is if she was strangling someone to death, rather than trying to force tainted berries down Peeta's throat to keep him alive. And she follows that up with a CSI: Miami one-liner...seriously, if the last few pages of this chapter were all there was, it'd be amazing. But there's just SO much filler in this chapter. That STUPID goat story just pisses me off so bad. Ugh.
