Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Here's a brief bit from Ms. Collins site: Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

I can't believe this, but I apparently forgot to review this book on my blog after reading it.  Let me just say that I really love this book!  Suzanne Collins is the master at storytelling.  It was a pleasure to rejoin Katniss, Peeta, Gale, and the whole gang.  The Capitol nows sees Katniss as a threat.  In a deviously planned twist, she quickly finds herself back in the arena.  How will things turn out for she and Peeta this time?  Will she be forced to prove through marriage her love for Peeta, dashing all hope of ever being with Gale?  This book was fabulous and so quick for me to read.  I can not wait for Mockingjay!  No sex or swearing, so I would give an age ranking of 12 or 13 and up.  Solid 4 stars on this one!  Sorry about spacing off the review until now.

  2. I just finished Hunger Games and planned to wait until fall to read Catching Fire, but after reading your review, I JUST CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG! I'm requesting it from the library today!

    Love your blog! A suggestion--could you add an email subscription widget so I never miss a post. I think FeedBurner makes a good one. Thanks!

  3. Everything about Suzanne is awesome. When I grow up, I want to be just like her.

    Glad you enjoyed the sequel. Do you have your name on Mockingjay yet? I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

    PS-I really like your progress bars on your manuscripts. I've learned from NaNo that nothing is more motivating than watching the color fill in!
