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.

Buddy-read this book with my roommate. Would not have read were it not for her. I don't particularly like Katniss, so reading from her perspective isn't my favorite. The plot was interesting enough, but it's just not for me.

It's rare for a second book of a trilogy to keep up the momentum of the first but this book did exactly that. We get to know the characters more in depth and find out more about the resistance in the districts
