The Hunger Games trilogy: Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins




Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games. She and fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime maybe more than friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at a distance. Peeta turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol, a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create. 

As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol’s cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can’t prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

It comes as a shock for Katniss, Peeta and their families. The vengeful president Snow is planning to sent them back to the arena, again....

First of all, yeeyeeyeey! I can't tell you how obsessed I am with The Hunger Games. I have watched all the movies and read the two first books. I love it.

This book? Mmh, not so much. It was almost the exact same as the movie. Not that that's wrong, the movie was adapted later than the books, but you still expected everything, which made it pretty boring at some times. 

Also, why wait that long on giving Katniss and one of the boys (don't want to spoil for the ones who have never heard of THG (what)) a kissing part? Like, why does Katniss wait that long? I had these moments where I was just like: 'UGH, WHY DON'T THEY KISS ALREADY JUST MAKE A CHOICE!' 

The good thing is, Haymitch is in the book too. He makes the book so much more fun with his drinking problem and his whatever mood all the time. And Effie just makes my heart light up, she is so sweet and you can tell she really cares about her little winners.

This review is getting too long, but I'll have to say this. Finnick is officially the hottest dude ever. If I wouldn't ship Katniss and Peeta, I would definitely ship them. 

With that being said, I will end this post with giving the book 4/5 stars
