Catching Fire

The book i read was the hunger games catching fire by Suzanne collins. This book is one of the second books in the hunger games series she has written. It starts off in a futuristic type setting that has a very rich and a very poor side the poor side is divided up into districts 1 to 12. Who each year have to battle in a event called the hunger games where you have to stay alive while killing other people from each others districts. In this book it is the 50th anniversary for the hunger games so they have all of the victors from the previous games come and battle it out in the arena once more.

There are 2 main characters in this story Katniss everdeen a skilled bow hunter who stood up for her sister in the drawing of the games. Peta a bakers son who was from the same district as Katniss that was chosen to be in the games as well. these two characters face very big obstacles in this story, like trying to stay alive and trying to protect what is right and tons of other action packed things further along in the story.the big idea of the story is how Peeta and Katniss are lovers who were forcefully drawn together in the first book by them being both selected for the tributes in the pasts game. There is only one victor who can prevail this time so they have tosses and turns to see who is the one who will stay alive in the arena and who will come out in pieces.

the book was very action packed and it left me hanging on each sentence making me want to read more and more of the story non stop which is one of the big reasons why i liked it .It also made me think about and visualize the story as i read it which is a great factor because its like you're in a movie or actually there with the characters. you should definitely get this book its a fun read and is very good if you are one of those people who doesn't want the book to stop because there is a whole series for you to read full of cliffhangers and great storylines.
