I simply loved this book. Just loved it. <3
I won't write the plot as it's so awesome it's better to read in the book than in some lousy book review.

The things I liked:

1: ANOTHER HUNGER GAMES!!! That stuff rocked!!!
2: The introduction of previous Hunger Games victors... Finnick is just awesome... yet not so awesome. O.o
3: The confusing, mixed feelings, whom-to-choose love triangle.
4: Katniss and Haymitch vowing to keep Peeta alive... aww... that's so sweet.
5: Katniss and Peeta trying to protect ...more

Catching Fire, Catching Fire, what can I say about Catching Fire?
First it is my favorite in the trilogy, it's probably my favorite book.
Whenever I like a passage or a quote in a book I put a paper or a rose petal, so I can remember it or re-read it, well this book is the one that contains the most petals.
The thing is I saw the movie before reading the book, so I kinda knew what to expect, but after starting reading I found some great surprises, I love every part of it, I was so obsessed with it, Catching Fire, Catching Fire, what can I say about Catching Fire?

The thing is I saw the movie before reading the book, so I kinda knew what to expect, but after starting reading I found some great surprises, I love every part of it, I was so obsessed with it, I couldn't stop reading, all I remember doing lately is reading it, I love it so much I can't write a review, I don't wanna say stupid things, I can't describe what I think of it.
All I can say is Suzanne Collins is a genius and I want to thank her for giving us the opportunity to read and know such a good book with such great characters, incredible twists, and her amazing story-telling.

- My favorite character: Peeta is still my favorite character of all time, and it's unfair to compare him to others, this is why I'm gonna choose another character, which means my second favorite: Finnick Odair, he's perfect.

- My favorite moment: This is so hard, there are so many great moment in this one, maybe the ending, I loved the "I need you" moment, when Peeta gives Katniss the pearl, when Finnick and Katniss wake Peeta up, when Peeta hits the force field...etc.

- My favorite quote:
"Words. I think of words and I think of Peeta. How people embrace everything he says. He could move a crowd to action, I bet, if he chose to. Would find the things to say. But I'm sure the idea has never crossed his mind."

"But Peeta would be more valuable alive, and tragic, because he will be able to turn his pain into words that will transform people."

“... and then I think of it, what Peeta can do so much better than the rest of us. He can use words. He obliterated the rest of the field at both interviews. And maybe it's because of that underlying goodness that he can move a crowd--no, a country--to his side with the turn of a simple sentence.
I remember thinking that was the gift the leader of our revolution should have. Has Haymitch convinced the others of this? That Peeta's tongue would have far greater power against the Capitol than any physical strength the rest of us could claim? I don't know. It still seems like a really long leap for some of the tributes. I mean, we're talking about Johanna Mason here. But what other explanation can there be for their decided efforts to keep him alive?” ...more
