reviewed Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games, #2)

Suzanne Collins: Catching Fire (Hardcover, 2009, Scholastic Press)

Sparks are igniting. Flames are spreading. And the Capitol wants revenge.

Against all odds, Katniss …

None

Well, I liked the first one, but all the teenage angst and internal drama is really grating after a while and I try to just ignore and skip all the parts where Katniss is confused and torn between Peeta and Gale. Very annoying. If anything, I now have even less of an idea why these books became so successful. They are OK at best. I'll still move on to the last one and re-watch the movies, but more out of a sense of duty to finish what I started. The story is not bad enough to drop, but not good enough to enjoy it.
