Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
3.0

Kinda boring. Cinna's costumes continue to steal the show, but I found the uncertainty in the first book wasn't here. After they set up the love triangle last time, it was pretty clear there'd be no resolution until the last 10 pages of the last book. And, unlike everyone else I talk to, the Games (yes, the series is called "The Hunger Games", there's another game) weren't even exciting. Neither the setup nor the actual setting of the Arena did much for me. Eventually its design worked itself into the story a little, but it was too late for me.
I did like one of the new characters, though. Well, and a second one, but that didn't last long...
Oh, Katniss, who was initially a marginally likable character, did not do anything to ingratiate herself with me.
