Over the weekend I finished reading Catching Fire the second book in the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. One thing that I have to say about this series is that you should read them in order, so that the plot makes sense to you. I read the first book over a year ago, and while I didn't love it, I didn't hate it either. When I reflect on my reading life, I am not sure why I never moved on to book two. To be completely honest, it was the 40 Book Challenge that was my incentive for revisiting this series and I am sooooooooo glad that I did.
In this book, the characters remain the same, but what happens to them this time around is almost unbelievable. If you have read The Hunger Games, and like science fiction, this would be a great book for you. One caution, this book does have violence in it. If you are someone who scares easily you may want to read this book with an adult, or just skip it until you get a little older. Happy reading :-)
