Catching Fire

Yesterday, I stepped away from my writing and happily skipped over to the theater to watch Catching Fire: the second movie installation in the Hunger Games trilogy. I was extremely anxious about seeing this movie as is with most hollywood movie adaptations. My fingers were crossed until they ached as I pleaded that I hoped they didn’t manage to screw up the movie. Did they leave some things out? Of course, it’s a movie and 2hr 26min one to boot. Was I pleased with the outcome? Hell Yes! I will probably be going to see it again while it’s still in theaters. It made we want to reread the third book again, which would make it the fourth time.

I devoured the first two books but had to wait for the release of the third book: Mockingjay. As soon as it came out, I was in line with the box set in hand, itching to reread the story. It’s such a fast read and was totally different from the series I had been reading at the time: Fablehaven. You know what, the two really can’t be compared. Within a short time, Suzanne Collins became another one of my favorite authors.
