My Thoughts:
After reading The Hunger Games, I rushed out to buy Catching Fire. This book did not disappoint my excitement at all. I really enjoyed returning to see more of these characters. It was fascinating to see the consequences of decisions made by Katniss and Peeta in the first book and how the two dealt with those consequences. I think that the pressures on Katniss made the emotional tone of the novel even richer. I highly recommend reading Catching Fire and its predecessor The Hunger Games- you won't be disappointed!
