Once I finished THE HUNGER GAMES, I immediately needed to pick up book 2 to continue this fantastic story. Similar to the first book, it's a fast, enthralling and non-stop book. The story does a great job at picking it up where the first one left off and it's still full of surprises. However, if I compared it to the first, I still enjoy THE HUNGER GAMES more. This is taking nothing away from CATCHING FIRE. It's still a great book and almost as good as the first (which is tough to do). I'm curious now how book 3 will end but I've gotta wait to get a copy of it. I finally broke down and ordered the trilogy through Amazon.
