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.

kbeucler's review against another edition

4.5

The first time I read this book, I thought it was totally cliche that Collins *Spoiler* sent Katniss back to the Hunger Games. I was like ‘can’t you think of any other plots??’ But reading it now, I understand that that was the only course of action for Snow and the worst possible thing that could happen to Katniss. It is inevitable in the course of the building revolution. I am also a bit mad at my past self and all of my peers who were ‘team Peeta’ or ‘team Gale’ when really the point Collins was trying to make was that it’s fucked up that they’re trying to force Katniss to choose between them when if left to her own devices, she’d probably be ace. But for her own survival, she has to participate in this charade with Peeta and deal Gale being a whiny bitch about it.
