Book Review: Catching Fire

"Catching Fire" is the second book in the Hunger Games series. Spoiler alert: if you haven't read the first book, you don't want to read this blog post. You've been warned.

Synopsis: (from amazon.com)

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

I think I may have liked this one better than the first one! The book picks up right where "The Hunger Games" leaves off - I absolutely love when an author does that! She really brings out the characters in this book, as well as the desparation. There is a really great twist that lands Katniss and Peeta back in the arena.. this was a great book and definitely a must read!
