My View: Just as original and entertaining as the first book, and I was just as involved and unable to put it down. After The Hunger Games, I was afraid that Collins wouldn't find a way to write a story that was interesting outside of the Games, and really she didn't. Putting the added spin of a rebellion and extra relationships into the story made this fresh, so it didn't "Seam" like a re-run of the first book. This was actually a very clever route to take, and enough adrenaline was included that I didn't miss the first book... but a very high standard was set for the end of the series.
