Catching Fire

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I also listened to this sequel of The Hunger Games (which by the way, I'm playing for my students during advisement time now). While I was listening to the first one, I often thought I'd like the second one better and I was right. And of course now that I've finished the second, I can't wait for the third. :)

This series has a lot to offer for a lot of different types of readers. It's got a lot of action, character development, a suspenseful plot, a love story, and it even would be great for discussion with all the political/social drama it brings up.

To me, I kept asking myself, what are humans like at the core when they're truly faced with life or death situations? I really liked how Suzanne Collins wrote a strong female character and I hope more young girls catch on to this and move on from Twilight.

I wonder how long it will take for Hollywood to turn the series into a movie. It seems like every movie coming out lately was a book first. Some books are better left alone.
