Catching Fire
By Suzanne Collins
(review by Landon Groves)
Katniss is back, and the President wants her dead. Turns out that her double suicide idea didn’t go over very well with the capitol, so it’s up to them to devise the worst possible death for her. Catching Fire is the second book in Suzanne Collins’ Hunger games series and, in my opinion, the best one yet.
With the painful memories of the 74th hunger games still fresh in her mind, Katniss has to relive them on the victory tour. She has to travel all around Panem while people congratulate her and her fellow winner Peeta, for killing their children.
Katniss has to find other ways to defy the capitol, if she wants to keep her dignity, though. Slowly and steadily, Katniss is becoming the face of a rebel alliance, which is determined to overthrow the capitol and its evil ways. An uprising is brewing, and she is right in the middle of it. But she doesn’t want to be; all she wants is to be home with her family, but that’s not an option. For Katniss, it’s kill or be killed.
I thought that Catching Fire was a great book. Suzanne Collins has outdone herself in giving the characters realistic personalities, as well as suspenseful scenes. I couldn’t put it down. When I finally finished it, I just lay there, wide awake in bed thinking about it. I would recommend this book, or series, to anyone who likes suspense and exhilarating action.
