As I had said in the past blog post, I have to write a review of a book I read, and don’t worry, I won’t spoil the end for you guys. You may know that there are a series of books that are written by Suzanne Collins and they are The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mocking jay; all of them are interesting and exiting but the book this review will talk about, as I said, its Catching Fire which is the second book after The Hunger Games. This series of books talk about a Nation named Panem that is divided into 12 districts and the Capitol, all the people living in districts are the ones that were against the Capitol so as you may know, the districts were not in good conditions, they were all guarded by soldiers and each district was assigned a different job. For example, district 12, where the main character Katniss lives, is supposed to be a district that mines coal. This people did not only had to survive the state of their districts but they had to watch kids from their districts die each year in the TV. This was the Hunger Games which is the name of the first book as well, two kids, one boy and a girl were chosen in every district to be placed in an arena for them to kill each other in order to survive and give a better life to their families. If you read the first book, you may as well know that Katniss and Peeta survive the games and are pretty famous, what Katniss doesn’t know is that she has started a rebellion and that’s what she discovers in the second book, which is what I will be talking about in the next paragraph.
Catching Fire, a pretty interesting book but very boring in the beginning. This book talks about how Katniss and Peeta are required to enter the arena again. They were happy to have survived the hunger games and were going around Panem visiting districts and giving speeches happily. Everything was going very well until she saw a video of how the districts were starting to rebel after she had won and given the speeches. The districts were starting to rebel except for district 12, they were all wondering why not start a rebellion but the problem was that district 12 was not ready for it and was very weak at those times. The year had passed and the Hunger games were approaching, Katniss was not really worried about it until they announced that this year, the victors were going back to the arena again because of the Quarter Quell. She was going back to the arena and she was going to fight all the other victors that had survived the Hunger Games. This time, Katnisse’s goal was to protect Peeta from dying or any danger or risk of death, meaning she was even going to risk her own life to safe him. In the arena, she made lots of allies such as Finnick, a strong good looking guy with special abilities with the trident. She suffered a lot in the arena; there were every kind of dangers in the arena like monkeys, gases that would kill you and even huge waves which would drown them. Katniss and Peeta passed through all those obstacles, they suffered and even lost some allies in the way. At the end, one of their allies which was good in technology and with the wire, decided to make a trap that would kill their enemies. His trap was to transfer electricity to the water where their enemies were going to be and like that, electrify them and killing them right away. Everything was going well until a huge explosion was created around the arena. So if you want to know if Katniss and Peeta survived, you will have to the book.
One last thing, if you really liked the Hunger Games, I would suggest you to watch the movie that is coming out because from what I have seen from the trailer, it looks really good and I am really looking forward in watching it.
