If you&amp;#39;re going to write a &lt;i&gt;book&lt;/i&gt;, it needs to have a beginning and an end.  The problem with Catching Fire is that if you don&amp;#39;t read Hunger Games first, you&amp;#39;d be completely lost and since Catching Fire doesn&amp;#39;t really have an ending (but just a To Be Continued), you have to read Book III as well.  In a good series, each book should stand on its own.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11257604/8975200711391688164/comments/default/959962511395107062'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11257604/8975200711391688164/comments/default/959962511395107062'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.goldschp.net/2009/11/catching-fire-by-suzanne-collins.html?showComment=1258654118212#c959962511395107062' title=''/><author><name>Paul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03769085264423503438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='16645100961276725067'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.goldschp.net/2009/11/catching-fire-by-suzanne-collins.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257604.post-8975200711391688164' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11257604/posts/default/8975200711391688164' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257604.post-3815047473930040367</id><published>2009-11-18T21:36:07.777-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-18T21:36:07.777-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The Only thing I hate about catching fire is the c...</title><content type='html'>The Only thing I hate about catching fire is the cliff hanger....
