Katniss falls into the Bella Swan paradigm. Such a bummer. (  ) MaryJeanPhillips | Jun 22, 2022 |  This is how to write the second book of a series. Kind of a vague sentence, but I feel like it sums it up. This book was wonderful as well. Here we meet Beetee (woo!) and other tributes who have won the Games in the years they competed. We see the relationships Katniss developed in the first book deepen in the second. I didn't cry, but juuust had so many feelings. I loved the action in this book and how it was laid out. I loved the descriptions and how the different settings came alive. I love how things were laid out--the clues were there, and even reading the book a second time, the -way- they were laid out made me think a lot. Collins has a real talent, and I enjoy reading her work. While I mark here that I read it in 2018, I have owned the trilogy since then and read it every year. (  ) iszevthere | Jun 21, 2022 | Not quite as good as the first book, but still very good. ( ) MarkLacy | May 29, 2022 | Much awaited sequel to "The Hunger Games," I loved every word and didn't want it to stop. For some reason I cannot predict what is going to happen next in this wild idea of a book. I recommend it to everyone who'll listen. ( ) BarbF410 | May 22, 2022 | I enjoyed this book more than the first one. I really started to like the characters and to understand what motivates them ( ) kskristine | May 17, 2022 |
 Collins has done that rare thing. She has written a sequel that improves upon the first book. As a reader, I felt excited and even hopeful: could it be that this series and its characters were actually going somewhere?  The author describes her wearing a series of Cher-worthy costumes in which she confronts poisonous mists, deranged monkeys, and a flock of ''candy pink'' birds equipped with long beaks used to skewer human necks. Great stuff, this. Unfortunately, such startling apparitions too quickly appear and disappear, baubles randomly affixed to a story that's been stretched to gossamer thinness.
