This is written for teenage girls. I kept having to tell myself that while reading Catching Fire. But even with that excuse, this isn't near as compelling as its predecessor, The Hunger Games.
Katniss remains as frustrating as ever, but the problem here is the plot. After not much happens in the first half, we're Spoilers! thrown back into the arena. So we get a rushed version of the first book, but this time people seem to be helping Katnis and Peeta survive. I wonder why. Could there be a plan to get them out? For a rebellion against the Capitol? Probably. But Katniss sure as fuck can't see anything past her bow string. End Spoilers!
