Before you read this review, if you haven't yet, go read my Hunger Games review. Make sure to read the first book cus it's good.
The capitol is angry about Katniss defying them. In retaliation they round up previous tribute winners for the 75th Annual Hunger Games. Unknown to Katniss and Peeta, a rebellion is about to break out. Katniss is known as the Mockingjay...which is a sort of catalyst symbolism.
Goodreads Synopsis:
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.
What did I think of this book? I thought it started out pretty slow. It only starts to get better around 66% of the way through. After that it gets good enough to be worth reading. The ending caught me off guard, even though I didn't have any expectations. It definitely makes me want to read the third book. I know that I will! I can't wait to see the second movie too, even though it probably wont be as good as the book. If you liked the first book I suggest giving this one a shot. Like I said though, it starts out slow but gets better around 66% of the way through. The beginning is just sort of a set up for what's to come.
Shame on anyone who thinks evil of this.
