Catching Fire
This book talked about a sixteen- year-old girl named Katniss who, along with a boy named Peeta from her district, won the annual Hunger Games last year in Panem. This year, they are both crowned Victors and attend the Victory Tour. Soon, a rebellion was created to fight against the corrupt government.
I enjoyed reading this book a lot. There was so much action in the middle, that I read the book in two days! I beat the record for the Twilight series last year, where each book took me 4 to 5 days.
In order to make a book fast-paced, the author would need to have a plot full of suspense and action. This novel has everything: from romance to science fiction to adventure. When Peeta was about to die, I wondered if Katniss could save him. That was one of the parts where I wanted to keep on reading to find out.
I definitely recommend this book to teenagers and adults. It is like reading Twilight, but with more action, for attracting more people to read it. Furthermore, teens like to read books that relate to their life. For example, Katniss is rich, popular, and has a taste for clothes; after she won the Hunger Games.

Spy High: Mission 4
I do not like or dislike this book. It was, inevitably, cheesy, but entertaining. I think it would have been beneficial to read the previous books. Some less annoying characters may have helped too.
This was a quick and entertaining read, but it did not live up to other spy books such as the Alex Rider series.
I liked their innovated technology, but the cloning theme is extremely overused (and over rated). The addition of love interests was completely not needed.
