*EDIT* why the BALLS did I recommend this to planters... what's wrong with me... but whatever, the book's still amazing!

This is the sequel to The Hunger Games my most favorite book of 2008 on to forever. In this sequel Katniss and Peeta have both ade it out alive. To the surprise of everyone, esspecially the Capitol. And they really don't like to be surprised. And unfortuantely not everyone believes that Katniss and Peeta held up the berries out of love, to them it was out of defiance to the Cap *EDIT* why the BALLS did I recommend this to planters... what's wrong with me... but whatever, the book's still amazing!

And they really don't like to be surprised. And unfortuantely not everyone believes that Katniss and Peeta held up the berries out of love, to them it was out of defiance to the Capitol, and now they think it's time that they can do the same. They might be right. Or very very wrong. And either choice will come up with consequences. Katniss and Peeta have to prove that they love each other to everyone in the Capitol, and it's making Katniss wary. She might just be developing feelings for Peeta, and where does that leave Gale.

I think I loved this one more than The Hunger Games, which I didn't think was possible. I remember when I first got this I was terrified to read it, worried that Collins might screw it up and it would be a big disappointment. Boy was I freakishly WRONG. It was AMAZING. Katniss grew alot more and started to let more people in, not just shutting the whole world out. The love triangle heightened alot. There's more Gale and we get to see what he's like. Which made me decide I love Peeta a whole lot more. Don't get me wrong. I love Gale, but he's just so wrong for Katniss. In my mind he's gasoline, and everyone knows what happens when you put Gasoline and Fire together. KA-BOOOM!!!! Yeah, and poor poor love struck Peeta. I think I love him even more in this one. You get to see more of his real personality. He's the sweet baker who would give her up if it means her happiness, he's so selfless! And that's the real theme of The Hunger Games Trilogy. Selflessness. Katniss was willing to give herself up for Prim, Peeta and Katniss were willing to give up themselves for each other. And it's all just so amazing. If you've read The Hunger Games, Catching Fire will definatley not dissapoint! ...more

Could this book be better than The Hunger Games?
At first I was sceptical - The Hunger Games was so good - how could Catching Fire possibly compare?

Believe me when I say - Suzanne Collins has set the bar for herself and I don't know if it is possible to top this.

Katniss Everdeen is victor. She won the Hunger Games and saved her "true love". Now she is a national icon, the face of the resistance. President Snow can't have that so he tries to douse the flames, to convince everyone by manipulatng Ka ...more
