Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2)

by Suzanne Collins

[Jane]

There were a few grammatical errors and possibly some word choice errors, too (e.g. "revenge her death" instead of "avenge her death"). I'm not too big on a plethora of fragments, as they give me a headache -- even in first person POV; books I read in middle school were high school level and never included fragments when in first person POV, so I don't understand what all the rage is about these days with them. There were also many instances wherein colons could have been used in place of commas; the same goes for semicolons.

The formatting of the book was...weirder than I'm used to. I felt like the page numbers were going to fall off the page, and they were also harder to read. Sometimes, I couldn't tell whether something was an 8 or a 0.

However, I did enjoy the overall story of the book. It's slow until you reach Part II: The Games, but then finally begins to pick up. I think I would have liked it a little more than I did had I not seen the movie first, but that may also be my distaste in numerous fragments talking.
