catching fire


1. I found out about this book because its the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy, and I already reviewed Hunger Games, so you know all about that. Actually though, what I failed to mention last time because I forgot, that I REALLY first heard about it because my brother read it, but I didn't think of reading it, I don't know why. And then for Christmas or his birthday he got the second one, which is THIS ONE. So then I wanted to read it but I realized it was the second one. So YEAH.

2. Catching Fire is the sequel to Hunger Games, so it is basically the aftermath of what happened there. AKA this post has spoilers regarding Hunger Games, but not Catching Fire, just saying. So since its the aftermath, obviously if you read Hunger Games, you know that Katniss and Peeta are the winners. The winners have to travel around the districts to basically rub it in everyones faces that they won. Plus, Peeta and Kat didn't exactly leave it off so well. So there's that. And finally, you know that at the end Katniss was told that the government isn't too happy with the "stunt" she pulled with the berries. So they want revenge. And that is NOT a good thing.

3. Do I have to go over how much I loooooove Katniss again? Well she's completely awesome. And in this book it is just really shown over and over again how much she and Peeta BELONG TOGETHER no matter WHAT happens with Gale! What? Did I just say that? You must have imagined it.

4. Katniss+Peeta forever. That's the top most awesome thing. Plus all the tricks they pull. Well one specific trick right before the Quarter Quell. And the Quarter Quell, lemme tell ya, it was pretty awesome. But I'm not gonna tell you what it is. Only that it made this book. Which you will see. I also love how many new characters are introduced.

So I guess this book review kinda sucked in comparison to my normal ones. But that's because its very difficult to talk about a sequel without spoiling it, because even though I can freely spoil the one before it, you already know the whole premise of the story, so what can I say without spoiling? So I did my best. Hopefully my review of Mockingjay (the third HG book) is better.
