Are You Ready to Catch the Fire?
I read this
novel during the Dewey Readathon, and it was an excellent choice the second
book in the Hunger Games Series.
Synopsis:
Katniss and
Peeta have survived the games, and have returned to District 12. Katniss now has a home in Victor’s Village
for her mother and her sister. She has
all the money she could ever need. You
would think that she would be happy, but she still prefers her old stomping
grounds outside of the district. Peeta
is around and still wishes for more from Katniss. Does she have it to give? One day President Snow pays Katniss a visit
threatening all that is sacred and important to her. Can she pull off the ultimate deception
convince the Public that she absolutely adores Peeta or will rebellion break
out? What are her true feelings?
My Thoughts:
I enjoyed
this novel and wasn’t too surprised with the direction the plot took. One question that I asked myself will Katniss
end up in another games maybe as a mentor?
I was wrong with where I thought the plot was heading in this novel. I will not spoil it for the rest of you. Ms. Collins takes this plot in a different
direction then what was expected to prepare readers for the final novel
Mockingjay. I maintain my position that
Suzanne Collins is a great storyteller.
I was a
little disappointed with the direction of the story. I had hoped that Katniss would get some relief
from the games I still very much
enjoyed this novel but not as much as the first.
Rating:
4.5/5
