Didn’t work for me: The Hunger Games – Catching Fire

I went into The Hunger Games – Catching Fire with pretty normal expectations and it surprised me. The middle drags and repeats the same tension a bit too long. There are a few scenes that genuinely hit emotionally. Overall, I’d recommend it to the right reader.

Not for me: The Hunger Games – Catching Fire

Mixed feelings on The Hunger Games – Catching Fire, but I can see why people love it. A couple of sections could have been trimmed without losing anything. The pacing stays moving and the chapters end on good beats. If you’re on the fence, try a sample — you’ll know quickly.

The Hunger Games – Catching Fire is the kind of book that hooks you early if you like its vibe. There are a few scenes that genuinely hit emotionally. The ending resolves fast compared to how much it builds up. Overall, I’d recommend it to the right reader.

Mixed feelings on The Hunger Games – Catching Fire, but I can see why people love it. The atmosphere is the standout — it’s easy to sink into. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.
