It's a new year.
I tried (not forcefully but I HAD hoped) to read 50 books last year.
I managed 32 (33 if you count the two Bridget Jones ones separate) and two half read books.
This year has just begun and I've just finished Catching Fire.
It's fantastic but seemed much quicker and more of a segue to the final book.
I have the feeling the first and last of this trilogy will be the best, a bit like The Subtle Knife in His Dark Materials. The story is amazing and essential but just a bit smaller than the books on either side.
OH and Katniss just seemed a tiny bit "slow" in this one, she didn't realise things at the speed I expected her too, but that might just be because I'm very practised (with the amount I've read before) at picking up on clues that characters don't.
3.5/5
