Catching Fire
Over the last week, I have read the second book of the Hunger Game series, called Catching Fire. I really enjoyed this book, and in my opinion, was better than the first one. What happens in this book is that there is something called the Quarter Quell. The Quarter Quell occurs every 25 years and it is just like the Hunger Games, but with a twist. Haymitch, Katniss and Petta's mentor, won the last Quarter Quell. The twist then was that there would be twice as many tributes. This year, the twist was that the tributes would be chosen from only the existing pool of victors. For District 12, there was only one woman victor: Katniss. That means she is going back into the arena.
          The gang: Katniss, Peeta and  Haymitch start to train for the games this year. Since they have all the food and things they want, they can become like careers.
          When the games start, we know that this isn't Katniss' kind of place because the first thing that she says is, "This is no place for a girl on fire." I wont tell you what was in the arena but most of you will be able to guess what it is like in there.
          Over the games, the story is pretty much the same, but the ending is even more unexpected than the first book. I won't tell you what it is but there is no way  anyone can guess it.
          The type of people that would like this book are people that like mystery, violence, and drama. I like all of these things so I would rate it a 9.5. The only reason it isn't a 10 is because of the massive cliffhanger at the end. Hopefully, some of you will like this book also.

  1. I like how you added that you were disappointed by the cliffhanger because it was something that everyone can relate to. Also, very creative blog name.
