Catching Fire

        For one of my last books i chose Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I would say his book is a graphic novel. I chose this book because I have read the first one and I'm looking forward to reading mocking jay over the summer.
         This book is also about the victors, Katniss and Peeta, from the first book. In this book uprisings start against the capitol, and many people are killed publicly by peacekeepers. The Games in this book are something called a Quarter Quell, which is every 25 years since the first games something is changed in that one  series. This happens to be the 3rd Quell (75 years) and something big has changed. Two former victors from each district go back into the games. So guess who is going back to the games? Katniss and Peeta! Later on in the book Katniss finds out that there was a plan to break her out of the arena, but I'm not going into fine detail about that. Towards the end of the book Katniss and Gale meet up again on a hovercraft and he tells her that when she escaped the arena the Capitol bombed District 12, but her family and his are safe....
         Overall this was a great book. I liked how it kept you guessing what was coming next, I also liked the fact that it was an easy read. But I only had one dislike. The ending was abrupt, not telling why but it wasn't the kind of ending that eased off like most books. This book would be appropriate for people who are in middle school+, and for people interested in the first book and suspending books. I would recommend this book... Only if you have read the first book!!!!
