Catching Fire Comparison

I will be comparing the book "Catching Fire" to the first book of the series "Hunger Games". In the book that I am currently reading, it is very similar to the first book in the series except for a couple of new events.  In the first book it starts pretty slow in the beginning but then as we go along in the novel the action starts to pick up. That is the same for "Catching Fire" since in the beginning Katniss and Peeta who won the hunger games in the last book go around the districts on their tour.  There are a little bit of action scenes while they go on their tour but it is still a pretty slow beginning to the book.  In the first book of the series the action starts to pick up as all of the hype for the hunger games picks up and we are introduced to the idea of the hunger games for the first time as readers. There is a section of the book that is devoted to just explaining the rules and setting up for the 74th annual hunger games since we the readers have never experienced something of that nature. In the second book, the action starts to pick up again as the Hunger Games begin just like in the first book.

I think that the first book of the series is better thatn "Catching Fire" since I think that the slow parts of both of the books are boring but I would have to say that I enjoy the explanation of these rules about the Hunger Games and building up on the Hunger Games that would happen later in the novel.  I highly recommend reading these books as I have enjoyed the first book and the second book even though I am not done with "Catching Fire".
