Reviews
This is most possibly the WORST (or best depending what you go on) cliffhanger
I have encountered in all my reading days. It leaves you more than just

2. hanging, you are grasping for your life on a thread that is fraying and there is
nothing to do but hold on (well metaphorically of course).
One word that can sum up this book is intense . Everything is just felt more. The
compassion, threats, action, betrayal, gestures, words all of it. This has to be
the reason why it is so addictive. As expected from this series we are in for a
ride. Some things are hinted out, but the full affect of what is going on isn't
totally revealed till the very end. Though I felt frustrated at times this is a grand
slam of a sequel.
You know it's hard to hate Katniss for being the object of the whole love triangle.
I usually get annoyed to no end and can't help wonder what people see in the
person, but Katniss is different. Though you don't think that Katniss is
particularly more special than others, but that is part of what you admire about
her. Plus she is critical of herself so you don't necessarily get a good feel of what
people think about her other than what is said with dialogue. I totally love this
because frankly that is what it's like in real life. It's others that can show you
who you really are when you aren't able to do it yourself. Peeta and Gale are
both incredible guys and what makes them so great is that they both are good
friends , something that is lacking in other books at times. Don't get me wrong
there is a lot more to the series than the love triangle. Suzanne Collins gives us
a lot to mull over till her much anticipated final climatic book Mockingjay.
BTW Excellent Excellent covers!!!
Quick overview: Catching Fire starts up not far from where The Hunger Games
ended. Katniss is living in the Victors Village with her family. You'd think that
she'd finally be able to relax and live the cushy life. Well that wouldn't make a
good book. There are rumors of rebellion and since Katniss and Peeta won the
Hunger Games in defiance they have become the faces of that rebellion. The
Capitol, particularly President Snow, is not happy with them. Now Katniss has to
worry about looking as in love with Peeta as possible to quiet down the rebellion,
but is that what she really wants?
It’s really hard to summarize a book when you’re afraid that everything you say
will give away the twist. If you have not read the book DON’T read a whole
bunch of reviews or comments! You’ll figure stuff out! Figuring out what’s going
on and the twists is part of what makes this so good. You think you’ve got
everything and everyone pegged only to find out that you only got half (if any)
of it right.

3. I wasn’t sure what the second book was going to be about but now looking back
I think “Of course! How else would it have worked?” The book starts off a little
slow, but it’s important for what Collins is trying to set up. I love Katniss and I
hate her. She frustrates me beyond belief, but you have to love her. I love how
you see and know everything from Katniss's point of view. You’re just as
confused and unsure as she is. It never feels like she’s not a real person. You
feel just as scared for her family. You feel her confusion and doubt. You just
really feel. I could probably name off a bunch of things that bothered me about
the book (I think I mentioned how I HAAAATE love triangles with a burning
passion) but you really care about the characters. You can't even hate Katniss's
team of stylists, who are selfish Capitol dwellers. The book deals with so much
more than who she’s going to end up with.
At first I really didn’t want to read it because I know how I am with these books.
I get totally immersed, constantly trying to figure it all out. I can’t believe the
twists in this book! The ending is just so…epic! How everything just falls into
place and makes sense. You see the characters in a whole new light. And then
you’re left with the whole butt-naked-spider-thread thing. I’m pretty sure it’s not
good for my health, but they say the same thing about oreos and fried chicken.
So what do you read after a book like this? Well, you could look for a book that’s
just as addictive and gripping as this (Yeah, good luck with that), or read a book
about kittens chasing after butterflies in a open meadow. Then you’ll probably
start thinking that there is a secret underground society of kitties just waiting for
the right moment to emerge, and you find out that the butterflies are their
spies! You see, this is the type of thinking you have after reading the book. It’s
beyond epic. Until the third book finally comes out I’ll be hanging butt naked by
a spider thin thread.
Oh, man, where to begin? The cliffhanger at the end of this book was totally
brutal.
I know that some people think using a cliffhanger is “cheating,” or lazy writing,
or just some kind of marketing ploy. Some people may think that the payoff is
never worth all of the angst/tension a cliffhanger might cause, or that a
cliffhanger is somehow tantamount to a betrayal of trust by the author just to
keep readers hooked. Overall, I don’t mind them. In a scenario like this, where I
know that these books are intended as part of a collective trilogy, I expect that
everything won’t be resolved and tied up with a pretty pink bow until the series
finale. For me, in this situation, I think it adds to the suspense and the
anticipation of the upcoming book.

4. Do I think cliffhangers work as well in a longer series, particularly a series that
isn’t necessarily a continuation of sequential events, or a series in which the
time gap between book releases is more than a year? Not really. We are a
society accustomed to instant gratification. I consider myself to be a fairly
patient person, but if I have to wait too long for something, there are times
when even I will lose interest and move onto something else. Because of this I’m
glad that I just read “Catching Fire” this month so that my wait for the final book
is only a few weeks.
Going back to my feelings about this book, it’s a close call, but I think I did like
“The Hunger Games” better. Still, this is best children/YA series I’ve read since
Harry Potter and it has become one of my favorite book series in general.
I think Suzanne Collins has such a captivating writing style. It literally sucks me
in to the point where, especially in the first book, it felt like I was experiencing
Katniss’s emotions right along with her. I haven’t had a reaction like that to very
many books and I think it’s a sign of Collins's talent as an author. I’m eagerly
awaiting “Mockingjay.” I want to see how everything gets resolved. As far as the
love triangle goes, my feet are firmly planted in the Peeta camp and I hope
Katniss chooses him. No offense to the Gale lovers out there, because it’s not
that I dislike him or anything, but we’ve just gotten to see so much more of
Peeta and gotten to know him to the point where I feel for him so much and I
want him to be happy in the end. Many a tear will be shed if something happens
to him in the final book. I might go as far as to say that a good portion of my
enjoyment of the series overall will hinge on his fate.
I’m not even going to go into what this book is about because you can read the
description - and other reviews - for that and I want to keep this review spoiler-
free. I will say that my one issue was that the pacing in the beginning was a bit
slow, but it all picked up and the book kept me consistently entertained. I’m
invested in the characters and the story and I wish I had “Mockingjay” in my
greedy little hands even as I type this. But, of course, if I had it, this review
might never have been written at all because I’d be too busy reading.
If you haven’t read this series yet, give it a shot! Don’t be turned off by the fact
that it’s YA, or by the subject matter, or because it’s “popular.” A truly good
novel (or series) rises above the limitations of its genre. I think this series is one
in which everyone can find something to enjoy. If you have any doubt as to

5. whether or not this series is worthy of all the adulation it’s received, you really
should read it and find out for yourself.
I'll keep this review short, mainly because I don't want to give out any spoilers.
After all, I didn't read any before opening the book and I am glad I didn't, many
events in the book caught me by a complete surprise and I loved it! "Catching
Fire" is a sequel equal in quality to "Hunger Games." The writing is superb,
action-packed, and emotional. It did lack the perfect pacing of the first book, the
first half was a little slow and for some time I wasn't sure where it was going,
but it picked up immensely in the later part.
What else can I say? This book was all I wished for and even more (and my
expectations were very high after rereading "Hunger Games"). I am dying to get
my hands on the last 3rd book!
P.S. If before reading "Catching Fire" I was concerned whether I would be able
to stay on Team Peeta with more time given to Gale, I am not any more...
Update 8/23/10. Still love it. The first half is still slow - even though a lot of
horrid stuff happens in it - but intensity goes over the roof once the Quell's
terms are announced. The ending left me with a feeling of sadness, but different
from the sadness I felt after finishing The Hunger Games. If the 1st novel ended
tragically in a personal way - Peeta's broken heart and Katniss's renewed fear
for her life, the 2nd makes you think about a tragedy of a bigger proportion -
will the districts be able to defeat the Capitol and how much many lives will it
cost them?
I love the wider scope of this second novel - we slowly learn (along with Katniss)
about what goes on in Panem. The girl hardly knows her own importance, her
worldview is definitely very limited and locked onto her own and her family's
survival. I can relate to that.
My opinion about the love triangle has changed, however. Really, this book is
not about which boy Katniss will pick. It's about much bigger issues. Katniss can
figure out who is right for her, when she is finally in a position to stop worrying
about both Gale's and Peeta's safety.

6. The genius of this series (so far) is that I have no idea what will happen in
Mockingjay. Whatever it is, I hope my favorite characters will make it, although I
am sure Suzanne Collins is not the type of writer who is afraid of killing off her
own creations. We shall see.
My only qualm about Catching Fire is that it's a tad heavy on dressing up.
Editing one or two gown descriptions wouldn't have hurt IMO.
