For my second book review I read the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I felt this book carried on very well from the first. when i first read the first book i didn't see how Suzanne Collins could carry on the story but she hits her audience with shock and awe when its announced what Katniss Everdinn and Peeta Mellark must do next.
The Second book , in my opinion is just as heart racing and fast moving as the last. Its names "Catching Fire " as the book elaborates on katniss everdinn "the girl on fire" thanks to her stylist Cinna.
After causing rebellion in district 11 the mayor of Panem isn't happy with Katniss' act of fury at the end of the first Hunger games book, so he warns her to be careful which boy she chooses , as the capitol will only be happy with Peeta , not Gale .
He also shows a severe lack of heart for Katniss and this is when she realises that the mayor will get her back for what she did. In this book it is the 75th Hunger Games , which is also known as the "Quarter Quell" . Each Quarter Quell throughout the years have had a twist on them different from the other games. The twist that the mayor picks out from a box of envelopes on live TV over panem is sure to make peeta and Katniss pay, and it certainly does .
As Katniss must set off again , she wishes she has never had success in the previous games . "I mourn my old life here. We barely scraped by, but I knew where I fit in…"
She must leave Gale behind in order to keep him and her family from danger , as new peace keepers move in to district 12 , they are allot stricter on rules, and use violence to get their way . Gales pays for trespassing over to the woods, and this is when everything in Panem changes.
With a huge twist at the end of this book , i was absolutly hooked. i literally couldn't put it down!
"…any girl who goes to such lengths to preserve her life isn’t going to be interested in throwing it away with both hands."
"If my holding out those berries was an act of insanity, then these people will embrace insanity, too. "
