Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins


Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Hunger Games Trilogy, Book 2
Publisher: Scholastic Press (June 2010)
391 pages, eBook (purchased myself in a Trilogy Bundle for $18.99)
Book Rating: 4 Stars
Katniss continues to be extremely confused about the two men in her life, Peeta and Gale, while uprisings begin in many districts, the dangers of the Quarter Quell nears, and it becomes clear that the Capitol holds Katniss responsible for the unrest, making blatant threats to all she holds dear. Though she’s still not my favorite character, Katniss’s obvious bewilderment over the Peeta and Gale situation, makes me feel a bit better about her, if nothing else just to know that she isn’t just being cold out of spite. You can’t help but like Peeta, the man has few if any flaws, and he continues as such. The Capitol in all their ugliness is finally revealed in this story, and I’ll be interested to see how it all turns out in the last book in this series, Mockingjay.
