Spoiler:

I suspected something to deal with the quarter quell since they mentioned it so many times but i didn't expect for them both to go back in. i didn't really expect either of them really, i thought that they would have to mentor someone close to them after it gets revealed that they were going back in. i'd say the second half of the book is better than the first. what my initial thought was when i was reading though was that the revolution would start and i expected the whole second book to be about peeta and katniss's victory tour through the districts. it started out as such with good descriptions and the old man getting shot in the square and i figured that's how the second book would continue with hints of an uprising with every stop but that got brushed away pretty quick after the first stop as it just pushed along many months afterwards. regardless it was a pretty good book, so far both books seem as if they could be one book. i'm guessing after i read the third that my assessment will be correct and that anyone reading will have to read all three to get the whole picture, but anyone who just reads the first book and doesn't continue will definitely get an engaging story as well.
