Catching fire is solid! I liked getting to see district 12 in the aftermath of Katniss’ Games and was pretty disappointed when I realized there was actually going to be another games in the book (but also perversely excited). I was very caught up in the slowly growing revolution, and it was cool that Katniss wasn’t really aware of it until the end. The mystery of the book was how organized the rebellion was, and as readers we’re piecing it together while Katniss is just trying to survive. It felt genuine and practical that she wouldn’t be focused on discovering the uprising or starting one— she’s just trying to avoid a crackdown, but gets herded towards rebellion anyway.

The hunger games are some of the best novels ever written in my opinion. They have such a thick, intricate plot that draws all people in, even non readers! Not to mention that they are beautifully written and every word has purpose! There are no empty sentences , everything here is just filled with meaning! They teach great life lessons and every book is incredible!!! 5 stars for Catching Fire!!!!!!!

Ok, so yes, it’s pretty graphic. The whole point of the games is that the government forces children to fight to the death, so I feel like that should be expected. If you are sensitive to very specific details of murder, injuries, and mental instability, I would stay away from this book.
