Catching Fire

DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ HUNGER GAMES!!!
SPOILER ALERT!
Plot: Katniss has won the hunger games and has managed to bring Peeta home as well. The capitol is not happy with the way they defied them and on top of that Panem is about to go into a rebellion. In the next book in the series, Katniss has to figure out who she really loves, and how to keep her family safe.
Review: Suzanne Collins does not disappoint in the next book in the Hunger Games series. I liked this book more than the Hunger Games because of the conflicts and the way this girl has to deal with them. About half-way through the book takes a surprising twist which makes it impossible to put down, and to top it all of the book ends in quite the cliff-hanger which just leaves you asking for more. This series is for everybody and you will not be disappointed. The 3rd book "Mockingjay" comes out in August.

The Hunger Games

Plot: Katniss Everdeen lives in a post-apocalyptic future, where there is a dictatorship called the capitol which now rules over the ruins that were once North America. Every year the capitol hosts a deadly brawl called the Hunger Games in which two teens from each of the twelve districts fight to the death. The story is about Katniss and how she takes her sisters place in the games and her struggles with survival and love.
Review: This has to be one of my favorite books of all time! I really read it in 2 days because of how intense and well written it was. I would reccomend this to ANY person, whether you like romance, action, betrayal, mystery, this book has it all. I loved the concept and how this girl figures out how to survive with her wits and her amazing ability to shoot arrows. I will say that this is almost better than twilight, and there are rumors going around that a movie is to be made out of it. The 3rd book in this series, "Mockingjay" comes out in August and I do not know how I am going to be able to wait for it.
