Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

This HAS to be the best series I have read ALL YEAR. I LOVE these books so much! I couldn't put it down. I really don't usually like this genre, but this book has definitely made it into my top 10 favorite books. The first book, The Hunger Games, was fantastic, and somehow, Collins has been able to not only keep up the amazing writing, but make it even better! This book was about the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, after she won the Hunger Games in the last book. In the last book, Katniss and her friend (or boyfriend!?) Peeta find a way to beat the system of the Hunger Games: kill themselves. Being the only two left in the arena, and not wanting to kill each other, they were about to eat poison berries when they were both declared winners. In this book, the government is making sure that this act against the system does not cause a rebellion amongst the people. Katniss must be very careful about what she says or does as she embarks on a victory tour across the country. If she is the cause of a rebellion, she and her family will be tortured, or worse. The plot is extremely interesting in this book. Also, a character is being reintroduced. Gale was Katnisses friend before she entered the Hunger Games, but they grew apart. Now he is a bigger part in the book and a love triangle is beginning to form.... I don't really like this character. If he's so important, how can the author make him disappear for an entire book? Anyway, I would recommend this trilogy to ANYONE no matter what types of books they like. The third book comes out next year...I can't wait!
