Catching Fire


I recently finished a great book called "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins. It is a fiction book with a touch of realistic in it. It has event that may happen in the future. I chose this book because I read the book before this one and I absolutely loved it!
Katniss, the main character, is faced between to decisions. One-obey the rules and do what is right to avoid a rebellion against the Capitol. The consequences for that is the other decision. Two-get punished along with all her family, friends, and other relatives including the whole district. All Katniss wanted was a free life for all the districts and for the Capitol to lose control of the districts. She wanted to spark up a change in their society and she was their leading role model. Of course, the Capitol doesn't agree. That forces up a rebellion against the districts and the Capitol. Even more, it is the year of the third Quarter Quell. A Quarter Quell is 25 year anniversary that gets viewers even more excited than the Annual Hunger Games. This year, the president, President Snow, wants all the citizens of all the districts to know that no one can overpower the Capitol. So, the reaping will be held among the victors. Meaning, the victors among each district will be reaped among the victors from the specific district. There will be a female and a male victor from each district participating in the Games. So, Katniss is the only female victor among her district. She and Haymitch or Peeta will be once again participating in the Hunger Games...
Two things that I liked about the book is that it is very adventurous and action taking. The age group that this book is appropriate for is around 12+. The reading level of this book would be 6/10. I would recommend it to a friend and a Hunger Games fan.
