The Hunger Games, Catching Fire (Book Review)

 

Sparks are igniting. Flames are spreading, and the Capitol wants revenge.....

She did it. Katniss and her fellow tribute, Peeta have won the Hunger Games. She and Peeta are alive. Everything should go back to normal now, right? She's safe now. But people change, and hope is stirring.

Gale is different now and keeps his distance, and Peeta is upset with her. And to top all of that there are rumors of rebellion....a rebellion that she may have started. Katniss has sparked a hope that she never intended to spark. The Capitol doesn't like hope and all eyes are turning to Katniss. 

If Katniss and Peeta can't convince all of Panem and especially President Snow, that they are dreadfully in love, the consequences will be horrifying. President Snow warns Katniss that her friends and family will be in trouble if she fails. 

Katniss's life will never be the same again.

Usually the second book in most series isn't as good as the first. But I have to say that Suzanne Collins has written not only an a amazing book itself, but a sequel that improves upon the first book. Every second of reading Catching Fire was so intriguing. I really enjoyed the character development and the way that Suzanne Collins draws you into the world that she is portraying is so refreshing. 

I felt like I could experience the highs and the lows of what Katniss was going through, and I could tell that the expressions on my face were changing as I continued to read (LOL). Suzanne Collins' writing is so raw and doesn't hide from the reality of the story. 

I would give this book a 9.5 out of 10 and recommend it for mature teens+
