A review by apechild
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
3.0
This was actually better than I'd been expecting; made pretty exciting reading, and although it's not left me feeling that I have to read the third book immediately, I will get on and finish off the trilogy at some point.
I like the way this book goes more into the society that the Hunger Games has grown up in, the way the different districts interact, and how they start to rebell. Again, the entire behaviour of the capitol sector is infuriating, but perhaps reflective of the real world as well. These divided kingdom ideas with big brother, all controlling states are nothing new; neither is the idea that there's an idyllic land out there just beyond the borders (in this case sector 13) where all is wonderful. But I do enjoy these tales.
Again, obviously, this is a book for teens. There's plenty of hand holding and hugs, but no sex please, we're underage. I do wonder where she's going to take the love triangle, but I suppose I will find out when I read the third book =)
On a side note I was distressed to read about killer monkeys =(
