I couldn't wait to read Catching Fire once I had finished The Hunger Games. The sequel is every bit as great as the first book and leaves you dying to know what is coming next. Throughout the book I liked Katniss more and more at every turn and ached for the life changing decisions she had to make.

Not my typical choice, but I did enjoy reading it. The cliffhanger at the end definitely made me want to read more. BUT! The rich cousin is so annoying…

I liked this a lot! I'd never read a graphic novel before, but this was a great one to start out with. I can't wait to find and read the rest of them!

Three Bones, Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, and Smiley Bone, are run out of Boneville after Phoney Bone tries to pull a scam on the townspeople. They get separated in a desert. Fone Bone, the most honest of the bunch, eventually finds marooned in a beautiful valley. All is not as peaceful as it appears, however. There are rat creatures trying to eat Fone Bone and an enigmatic dragon who keeps saving his skin.

This has potential, but it didn't really get anywhere in this first installment. I had more questions when I finished it than I did when I started it. I can't think of one question that got answered. That's the biggest reason I rated this three stars.

I did like the artwork. It reminded me of the cartoons I watched as a child.

I don't really have anything else to say. I don't feel like I know enough about what's going on to add anything else.

Readers more patient than I am will probably like this more than I did. I just want to have something explained.
