Book Review: Catching Fire by: Suzanne Collins

Rating: ★★★★★

Amazon Summary:

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

Me:

I didn't realize how much I liked Catching Fire until I was actually finished with it. There is so much that had to sink in. I had a lot of expectations of this book, especially since I enjoyed the first one so much, but I was not disappointed. I was angry at times but not disappointed. I loved the arena in this book too. Without giving too much away I will say that I thought it was much more creative than the arena in the first book. Catching Fire also introduced some lovely new characters. I have a soft spot for Wiress. She is just so lovely. And of course I love me some Finnick. He's dreamy and cocky and witty, all the things I love. 

I'm about a third of the way through Mockingjay. It's waaaaaaaaay different and it may take me longer to read since I don't feel as in to it as the first two.

Book Review: The Hunger Games by: Suzanne Collins

Ok people. I did NOT want to read and like these books. I thought for sure they would be something stupid and/or boring. Oh man was I wrong. I was sucked into The Hunger Games after ten pages. I could not put this book down and now on to the review.

Rating: ★★★★★

Amazon Summary:

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games," a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed.

Me:

I absolutely adored this book. I had serious issues putting this book down, good thing I was reading it on my phone and I could take it with me wherever I wanted to go, good bless technology. I thought I would really hate Katniss, but I actually like her a lot and find myself rooting for her. The story is really good and very interesting. I literately flew through this book. I am also completely in love with Peeta. He is the most amazingly sweet boy ever. Team PEETA!

I'm about halfway through Catching Fire and have Mockingjay on deck. Heepwah!
