Once again, wrote a whole review, just to have it erased when I accidentally clicked away from the review screen. 
 Let's make this short and brief then. 
 4 stars. Why? 
 Fast-paced and maddeningly engaging. Could not put it down. Was reading while driving Caution: Don't try this at home. As fun to read as the previous book. 
 HOWEVER 
 Whereas The Hunger Games had a bit of originality, Catching Fire did not bring anything to the table. It was a filler. It dragged on a bit, especially the first part. We could've done without this installment. I realize that The Hunger Games lit the match of the revolution and Catching Fire pretty much set it on fire but again, it could've been combined into one final book rather than having a whole book dedicated to one concept. 
 That being said, I'm not fond of duologies, so it's all good on the Lilyan front. I'm satisfied and excited about Mockingjay. 
 Suzanne Collins the writer on fire.
