After hearing that so many people liked this book, I figured I'd give it a try. I really liked it (and Jay ended up reading it in about 2 days once I finished it and he really liked it.) I did think it was a little barbaric that the Capitol makes 24 kids fight to the death and broadcasts it for all of Panem to watch. It really bothered me that they made it seem like it was an honor to be a tribute by dressing them up and parading them around for all of Panem to see. The whole time they were in the arena I just kept thinking, "what would the Capitol do if they didn't all kill each other? Would the Capitol kill them off themselves?" I'm excited to read "Catching Fire" as soon as I can get it from the library. I thought it was very intriguing and was an easy read. Did all three of you read this book already? I can't remember...

I know Erin and I have both read it. You picked a great time to read it because the 3rd book, Mockingjay, comes out on August 24. I can't wait!
