I recently finished reading Catching fire by Suzzane Collins which was a step down from the first one but still really good. the book was really slow in the beginning but got good in the ending of the book. be for i had started to read this book i had known that katniss was going back to the hunger games but i didn't know how. Not knowing how she got into the hunger was what kept me going through the first part of the book. But once it was decided that she was going back into the hunger games it got a lot more interesting. when we met all of the tributes i thought they all seemed mean except for few. So i thought that everybody was going to try and kill here first and that she didn't stand a chance. What surprised me was that almost everybody turned out to be the exact opposite. Once the Katniss was in the hunger games, the story definitely picked up the pace. there was one thing after another and almost never a break. I feel that the intensity in the end of the book really made up for the slow beginning of the book.
