There wasn't much about Catching Fire that was new to me this time around. Not saying that the book isn't spectacular and haunting and wonderfully written, just that I caught all that the first few times I read it.
The most terrible part in the whole series, for me, is in this book, when Peeta and Katniss attend a party in the Capitol and find out that the people there carry out an old Roman (or Greek? I'm dumb. Can't remember.) custom of throwing up during a feast to make room for more food. It's just a shock to their system because their families have always been hungry, and here these people have so much food, they don't even let it digest. Suzanne Collins wrote this moment so perfectly that I feel the disgust in my bones every time I read it.
