Did he think it was just as good? Better? Hmmm. I should see if Amy wants to read these... She's coming home next weekend!! Squeee!<br /><br />Kailana - I've certainly read (or quit on!) worse. They're entertaining brain candy, but I could never compare them (or the Twilight series -- or Harry Potter) to the depth and power of The Book Thief. Now that was one fantastic Young Adult book! Still one of the best books I've ever read.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-7763573945848550482009-09-20T19:47:20.172-07:002009-09-20T19:47:20.172-07:00I didn't mind Catching Fire, but I am still no...I didn't mind Catching Fire, but I am still not as big of a fan as others are of the series. I will still probably read the third one, though!Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-44121195020482551012009-09-20T11:56:10.621-07:002009-09-20T11:56:10.621-07:00Well, I bought Catching Fire and the kiddo already...Well, I bought Catching Fire and the kiddo already read it, so if I hate it I still got my money's worth. Both teenagers (mine and one of our car riders to swimming) loved The Hunger Games. I'll have to loan Catching Fire to A. to see if she likes it as much.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-4682468913206169902009-09-20T09:28:47.818-07:002009-09-20T09:28:47.818-07:00Debbie - I seem to be in the minority, though.

Or do a little blog/Google search to see who has raved about it.
