Catching Fire chapters 1-2

Onward to book two! We started the next installment of the trilogy, and we might have had more fun with these two chapters than we had with the entire last book. Who knew that what this series needed was a Bond villain? These chapters are a little short, but they introduce an irresistibly fun bad guy and get us incredibly excited for a road trip through the districts of Panem. Plus, we have some official Hunger Games trading cards from 2012 to crack open...

Doing the Akira LEAVE ME ALONE scream at this shitty essay that sounds exactly like the shitty essays I wrote in high school

ZiggyWSB .

Not sure if this counts as a spoiler, but I was surprised by prequel Snow not being the Keikaku-Teenager and more a "Banality of evil"-guy.

Nicole Clark

I really hope you read the prequel book after the trilogy. Young Snow is big Evil Gentleman vibes

Marisa

Reading a little bit ahead I can tell you guys are gonna have a lot of fun with this one I think it expands on a lot of what you guys have hoped would be expanded

Alexa Galloway

How dare you make fun of the lack of descriptive ability of a girl that went to coal school!

i think your thoughts on this one being more enjoyable than the first one echo the fandom’s thoughts for sure! granted, i’m absorbing a lot of the present day fandom through whatever trickles onto my feeds, but when i read these in their heyday, catching fire was for sure the fan favorite, for both the book and the movie

Genesis

Hearing the list of cards with like a million Katniss Everdeen started to melt my brain

You guys talking about how the discourse around the books treat them like they’re so serious and realistic when they aren’t reminds me of the way people talk about Avatar the Last Airbender. I rewatched that show for the first time as an adult, and was surprised by how the realistic portrayal of war, radical politics, and deep character psychology that the internet seems sure that show has just weren’t actually there. It’s way more of a normal kids cartoon than people seem to realize.

I’ve read ahead a bit as a first time reader and this only gets funnier with time. Some of the next batches are insane

Zachary Coleman

I really hope the snow prequel book mentions coal school. That would really be a full circle moment on this bit

Meh

Coal School is the new Dog Brain where you've joked about it so many times that I no longer remember how much of an exaggeration it is lol

it should have a moment where someone says "this district needs a school..." like han solo getting his last name

Cromalin

that essay is the most playing to the crowd thing i've ever seen

Andrew Trayford

having finished the series now i do think you've reached my favorite chunk of it

sam

so stoked for you guys to get to the best movie adapted from the best book. donald sutherland and jlaw’s chemistry in their scenes together is so crazy good dude

no he isnt? Young snow is a shitty friendless fascist teenager. He hasnt yet achieved Evil Gentleman Status.

Nicole Clark

I mean... what he did towards the end is kind of inline with evil gentlemen but my comment wasn't that serious lol

lemon cupcake

"may or may not be strategy" sounds like you guys wrote it

Kate Ashwin

the return of boyfriend points is a real treat, please keep us updated on how much better gale is numerically

I feel like there's something like "emotional realism" that should probably enter The Discourse. Sometimes people with swords screaming their motivation feels more real than people talking like human beings, like how Ghibli movies animate crying to look like how it feels

Ryan

That’s sort of what “expressionism” is, but I don’t think that’s a good description of what’s going on in ATLA or Hunger Games.

Sarah Z

Literally nobody else who likes these books is a Gale enjoyer. I feel so much less alone

Liam Philipson

There’s a certain character where every time you bring them up I am in full shouting at the screen mode because the way THAT ends is going to make you two SO mad, probably the worst aged thing in the series,

Anyway others have said this is the best book in the series and I totally agree, it’ll be interesting to see your take on where it goes!
