The World according to Garp drop/Catching Fire end

This week I dropped a book and finished a book. I dropped the book The World According to Garp by John Irving, and I finished Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I dropped The World According to Garp because I couldn't relate, or empathize, or sympathize, or anything with the characters, as they were overly weird, and there were no fantastical elements to hold my attention. with no interest in any of the things i usually like about a book, I dropped it. However, I really liked Catching Fire. it is the sequel to the book The Hunger Games and takes place in a country where the government is all-powerful and sends its subjects off to die every year for entertainment, although only the rich capital city is entertained. Katniss Everdeen, the main character lives in the poorest district, and she's especially hated by the government for something that happened in the last book. I liked this book because it had lots of emotion and action and surprises and thought process. I give it an 8.
