Christmas Countdown Review #8 - Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Hi everyone, I'm back again. You might remember that in my last post I mused about reviewing more series (aside from Harry Potter, the first 2 books in the Bridget Jones series and the first 2 books in the Lily Bard series by Charlaine Harris, I haven't really), as I seem to review the first book and then stop. So this is a continuation of a series review, Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins.

OK, this is the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins and, as many of you may remember, the movie just came out last year. So, if you've read the Hunger Games you know how it ends and you know that the victor(s) return to their district and life seems hunky dory for a while, well, as hunky dory as life can be in Panem. But then the government catches wind of a Mockingjay a symbol of rebellion among the people (if you've read the book you all know who/what the mockingjay is) so the government decides to make life miserable for its victors once more. It announces a special 75th Quarter Quell in which 2 victors from each district will come out of retirement to compete in the games (obviously this doesn't go over well) and things happen, terrible things and there's fire and Catnip almost gets burned alive (well I said victors, it had to be Katniss, she's the only female victor from district 12). And that's where I end my summary...

This book is just as riveting and exciting as the first one and I would recommend that everyone read it if you haven't already. I'll be reviewing Mockingjay soon in preparation for Mockingjay part 1 which comes out later this month

Until next time keep reading, writing and reviewing!
