Before re-reading Catching Fire, I forgot how much I loved it! I do not know how she does it, but Suzanne Collins has done it again. It is as good if not better than the first book, The Hunger Games.

I am rereading this because the third in the series is out soon. So glad I decided to read it again amazing how much you miss the first time.
