I have always thought that sequels couldn't be better than the first. Catching Fire proved me wrong.
This sequel to The Hunger Games is the kind of novel that has you pulling back to take a breath and go, “How did the author think of this?” Everything I loved about The Hunger Games is present in Catching Fire. Characters so thoroughly described they start to feel like friends and a fantastical setting that is both real and sad. It has action, romance, horror, hope, despair and, most of all, humanity. Simply, Catching fire is more of the connection to the story that won me over brilliantly in Hunger Games. The 3rd and final book in this trilogy, Mockingjay, is to be released in August.
I brought this for my girlfriend and when she reads when she has a spare second. She is totally engrossed, not sure if I should rate as a 1 or a 5 (still working out if it is a positive or not) :)
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.
Reviews for The Hunger Games:
Stephen King-“’The Hunger Games” is a violent, jarring, speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense … I couldn’t stop reading.”
"Impressive world-building, breathtaking action and clear philosophical concerns make this volume, the beginning of a planned trilogy, as good as The Giver and more exciting.." Kirkus Reviews
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight) -“The story kept me up for several nights in a row, because even after I was finished, I just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it …The Hunger Games is amazing.”
"The suspense of this powerful novel will keep the reader glued to the page long after bedtime" VOYA
