I just reviewed the first book last night. Catching Fire is more of the same, though unlike what the title suggests, the book tends to mostly be a cooldown from the first.
It is still a very enjoyable read, even though the the concept of the hunger games isn't as fresh.
Unfortunately I feel Katniss departs from her characterization in the first book, she still has a dramatic voice, but where the heck did all this emotion come from? The girl should be fairly level headed. Right? Apparently not.
I'm coming across negative, but that's not really the case. The book is good, gripping even. And Collins adds a few really brilliant touches. The End.
