Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

So this is the last day of Spring Break, on which I also had my last softball practice until the the first game of the season! Even so, I’m not looking forward to school, even though there were some lonely hours where I was bored out of my mind. XD. I don’t think that I’m going to be doing a review on the next book I read, so you might have to wait a couple weeks unless I read quickly this week. ANYWAY, HERE WE GOOOO.

Back home in District 12 after the horrors of the last Hunger Games, Katniss thinks that everything is over, and that things will return back to normal. But it starts to look like nothing will ever be normal again – President Snow is watching her very closely, uprisings are starting up in the other districts, and worst of all her family and friends are all in danger of being killed – all because of Katniss. As she and the Mockingjay both become symbols of rebellion against the Capitol, and all 12 districts’ compressed fury finally bubbles, Peeta and Katniss have to literally face their worst nightmares – which become their reality.

WELL. I don’t know why I didn’t read this sooner, I should have read all 3 of them right away, but that’s okay. I don’t know if I liked this book better than the first one, it was of course really amazing, EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS SERIES IS AMAZING. It still had the adventure that the first one had, and same with the love problems. I think that it wasn’t necessarily better or worse than the first one, but it instead they each had their own things that made them great.

I loved the ending to this book because I liked knowing what Katniss thought was going and then speculating what was happening for myself. The second last chapter was really intense as well as perfectly confusing, and the last chapter was just BAM. You didn’t know what was happening unless you were psychic, and then AND THEN. Aaahhh. Nice ending. I really liked how Haymitch was in on everything, he’s one of my favourite characters.

Extremely captivating. I remember being late for something and I was trying to finish the book on time but NO. I had to stop right before the last chapter. IT TORTURED ME UNTIL THE END OF THE DAY! Seriously. I could barely handle it.

OH, and this one had a lot of emotional stuff in it, I cried once and almost cried another time. :P Just a warning!

Suzanne Collins’ website. http://www.suzannecollinsbooks.com/ I’ll give this one  4.5, because it doesn’t QUITE have the ‘Wow’ the first one had, but let me tell you it was pretty damn close.

Later Cheese Graters,
