The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

President Snow reminds me of [a:Elmore Leonard 12940 Elmore Leonard https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1240015224p2/12940.jpg]'s bad guys.

Since I'm not fond of him, it's hard to get enthusiastic about his biography. And I'm more sensitive to negativity and gruesomeness now, than I most likely was when I read the series.
