A review by kateraed
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

5.0

The second in the Hunger Games trilogy, and certainly not a disappointment. Katniss is still as lovable as ever, and the plot definitely advances well - and quickly. I kept waiting to hit the point in this book when everything would slow down so we could get into Katniss's head, but it was so crammed-full of events that apparently Collins didn't have much room to include anything else. Not that I'm complaining; as far as the sociopolitical commentary goes, it's a great starting-point for a discussion, especially with younger teens. My only other complaint: I know that Collins wants me to want Katniss to end up with Gale, but Peeta is so lovable I still want her to be with him. Not that we'll know for sure until August... can't wait for the third one!
