CATCHING FIRE

THE HUNGER GAMES #2 : CATCHING FIRE

Sparks are igniting, flames are spreading and the Capitol wants revenge. 

Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.

Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

In Catching Fire, the second novel of the Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss Everdeen, testing her more than ever before...and surprising readers at every turn.

REVIEW:

Catching fire is my favorite book in this trilogy. It is exciting and funny, not overly romantic but that is not needed in these books.

Catching fire is the start of the REAL action. It is the year of the 75th hunger games, so there is a quarter quell. Every 25 years there's a quarter quell , for the 50th hunger games 48 people were send to the games, and this year it will be a very surprising turn of events as the 75th specialty is published. I'm not going to spoil the fun for you but, holly crap, I was blown away at this anouncement.

We get to know a lot of the previous victors in this book, which I really liked (the history of the hunger games interests me a lot, what happened, who won etc.).

If you weren't already hooked when you read the hunger games, catching fire will propably be a turning point in your experience with the hunger games (in a good way).

I was thrilled with this book, it had me sitting at the edge of my seat the entire time and turning pages when I had to stop (to eat or go to the toilet or something pointless like that ;) ).
