CATCHING FIRE, by Suzanne Collins

CATCHING FIRE
by Suzanne Collins

(Scholastic Press)

I can tell you exactly three things about this book without spoiling it:

1. I'm shallow enough that I savored just *having* Catching Fire as much as I enjoyed actually reading it.

2. If you're tempted to be let down by the political domination of the plot in the first half, don't despair. The second 200 pages will nail you.

3. You know that sinking feeling you get when the chunk of pages left to read is getting skinnier and skinnier, but the action isn't winding down? And can't possibly wind down in the remaining 1/8 inch? Be prepared for that. (Especially if you're as great big a pouty-pants about cliffhanger endings as I am.)

The end.

(Available September 1. As if you aren't already counting the days.)
