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.

I really enjoyed this! It was a captivating sequel filled with unexpected twists. It was rather violent and I didn’t enjoy how slowly the first half of the book went but overall, I thought it was a good read!
