Catching Fire

It's time for the 75th Quintell Games! Every quarter of a century passes, and the next twenth-fifth is celebrated throughout all of Panem... in the form of a horrified, twisted version of the Hunger Games. This year's theme? Winners, get ready to try your luck again, for the Quintell Games are here! District 12? Let's welcome the winning lovebirds, Katniss and Peeta!!

When the winning team of the 74th annual Hunger Games had arrived back at home to District 12, the usual riches of winners were awarded, yet tension was ridden in the air. Katniss' play on Peeta's feelings, her confusion between Gale and Peeta, and... the rebellions. The contraband of the mockingbird Katniss- who has twarted the Capitol- has spread thoroughout the various Districts... and what's the rumor on District 13? Can she survive another game? What is exactly going on in the rebellion and in the Capitolists' heads? Not one person knows all, yet the story unfolds some more with CATCHING FIRE.

I loved the sequel to THE HUNGER GAMES, though, I felt- like all middle books do- it was more of building characters, their relationships, and bringing in everything for the grand finale, which I cannot WAIT to come out. This books leaves you anticipating for the HIGHLY anticipated ending book of its trilogy. Collins imagery astounds all. Rest assured, those into the romance sense of the previous book, would like this book majorly. A lot of rehash of the past book went into this book as well, but then again, it was the middle book; it had already exceeded my expectations with its suspense and drama.


Recommended to: anyone!
