i think catching fire is amazing, it is my absolute favorite of the series! i mean of course i liked the hunger games as well, otherwise i wouldn't have read the sequel, but catching fire is a whole other dimension. while the hunger games is more about danger, the second part is more emotional, and some scenes are really touching, for example when peeta gives katniss the pearl on the beach or the funny scenes with finnick, who is an amazing character. i don't really like the third book, because though i understand why each of the storylines are necessary and the battle and the epilogue are thrilling to me, it just is very long and very sad at some points, i mean i felt so shocked when peeta tries to kill katniss that is a whole other kind of sad then the year-long capitol surpression and the victims of the games. so no, the second book is the one i like. even the arena concept i prefer, a clock of horrors, it's brilliant and the alliance is quite interesting. but i really hate thatit will take this movie so long to come out it like almost two years, the first one march 2012 and the second one end of 2013, what is taking so long the shooting in hawaii is almost done and i would at least like atrailer to hold on to...
