Back to Hunger Games...take 2

Time for a new book...
I've had some recommendations from students, and so I've decided to try out book two of the Hunger Games series, Catching Fire.  I'm not totally sold on this, but the first book was good enough to get me started.  I'm only a few pages in, so I can't judge it yet.
I do have some questions though:

1. Will Katniss choose Gale or Peeta?
2. How does she get involved in the competition again?

I'm hoping that the plot gets into how terribly the Capitol treats the people, and maybe Katniss will confront them somehow.

I always form questions before I read a book, and I start to make predictions, too.  This book's interesting because you really don't know exactly where it's going to go after the ending of book 1.

Has anyone else read this book?  What did you think?

Daniel's Story Concluded

Thanks to Luke, I just read a great book that I'd never heard of before, Daniel's Story.  My power went out due to Hurricane Sandy, so I got a lot of extra reading time.  It's a holocaust story, so it's not a happy tale.  However, it's written in 1st-person, so it gives a perfect glimpse into a teenager's life during this crazy time.  The boy is Jewish and ends up being moved from place to place with his family.  It starts off in Germany, where their early treatment is cruel but bearable.  It only gets worse as they are moved to a ghetto and then work camp.  It's tough to imagine at times, but this book is definitely worth it if you're interested in Holocaust history or just like historical-fiction in general.  Give it a shot and thank Luke!  Now, I've got to pick a new book.  Any suggestions?
