to: Catching Fire (Hunger Games, #2)bySuzanne Collins bookshelves: recommended-for-students
The second novel in the Hunger Games series does not disappoint, as Katniss tries to work her way through President Snow's evil plans and the terrifying Quarter Quell. While several other reviewers believe the first section is slow, I feel the intense pressure builds in Kat's world along with the surrounding districts as she travels on her second victory tour. Her journey leads to an ending you will NOT see coming, and a longing for the third book that should last all winter long! If you read the first, you MUST read Catching Fire!

to: Snakehead (Paperback)byAnn Halam bookshelves: recommended-for-students
While this novel had some interesting plot points, Snakehead was pretty slow going. The events of Perseus and the Medusa really didn't take off until about the 200-page mark, and the love connection between Perseus and Andromeda was hard to follow/believe. It was a valid attempt to recreate the Greek myth, but there were some significant holes in Halam's interpretation.
