Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins


I just finished this book and I did like it, but not as much as the Hunger Games, the 1st book in the trilogy. This book dragged on a lot more and more unnecessary things happened. This book continues to follow Katniss and her life. She gets home and what she did at end of the last book is causing uprisings and the president threatens her. She and Peeta go on a trip through all of the other districts and the description of them and what the 2 kids did was very good and din't make me bored, like description usually does. Her very good friend, Gale, doesn't talk to her that much anymore and things with her and Peeta get a lot more serious. But, 2 past victors from each district have to go back to the games. I thought that this was a little stupid and would make the book boring and kind of repetitive, but it was only a third of the book. Peeta and Katniss get a lot more allies in this book and this seems to help them a lot. If I were in Katniss's position, I would have tried to rebel against the Gamemakers and get everybody to get along and not kill each other, but do it secretly , so you wouldn't be killed. They all especially know how horrible the games are, so I would rebel. When I was on the last few pages, I started to get really confused. I read it over a couple of times and was still very confused. The way the author worded things made it confusing. I had to look up the book on the internet in order to understand it. Overall, I liked this book and can't wait for the next(and final) one!
