rossruns 's review for:

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
3.0

I finished this in a single day, but that's not an indication of how much I liked it. The followup to The Hunger Games covers very little new ground, so you'll probably like Catching Fire (almost) as much as you liked its preceding novel. I found the plot and intrigue pulled me in, but I still had issues with the writing style and this one felt even more juvenile than the first, for some reason. (I'm guessing if I re-read the first now I'd feel the same way about it but it didn't seem so on first read.) Definitely has the makings for a decent bridge-movie in a trilogy, but so far it's the weaker of the two books in the series I've read.
