Hunger Games- Catching Fire

Catching fire is the second book in the Hunger Games Series. After surviving the games Katniss and Peeta return home to a whole new way of life. Unknown to them though their antics in the arena have started a wave of rebellions across the districts, and although they are no longer being hunted to death for sport they are in even more danger then ever before.

After finishing the first book of the series I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book! Suzanne Collins done a great job of portraying the confusion and emotion of returning home after such a life altering ordeal and it was interesting to see how there lives changed but still not being any better for it. This story was just as packed full of tension, heart stopping and nail biting moments as the first book. What I loved about this book was it went into the history of the districts more and you started to get more details about each individual district and the people within them. I really enjoy the way Suzanne Collins portrays the wealthy people of the Capitol and shows up their self indulgent shallow world, I think there are some definite parallels to modern society!

This story is a MUST read with so many twists and turn you will be left exhausted! Definitely a book that will appeal to both adults and teenagers.

I give it 5 out of 5 stars!
