Finally found someone that had the clip of the "Don't Read This Book" segment.
I was actually pretty amused. He was making fun of the fact that you really couldn't tell wtf was going on inside the book from the cover. Baen Books has a reputation for some of the worst covers in the industry and this was about average for them, and on top of that it was the third book in the series, so anyone seeing it for the first time would, indeed, not be able to tell what was going on just from the cover picture. Clearly he did not even read the cover blurb on the back though, which is just plain lazy. So points for being correct about the cover, same amount subtracted for not reading the back cover blurb.
Hunger Games:
I thought the entire series was absolutely brilliant. I love how the author did not take *any* "easy outs" for the sake of an easy read or a happy ending. I can't say anything more or I'll do spoilers, but this is NOT an "easy" series to read, and it goes places most YA books wouldn't dare.
