Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

The long awaited sequel to The Hunger Games is out and just as terrifying and intriguing as the first. Warning: This is the second in a three book series and you are left hanging just as you were at the end of The Hunger Games.

Book Description:
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

This was an absolutely fascinating book. It was terrifying but intriguing all at the same time. I couldn't put it down. The worst part about it was the sequel doesn't come out until September 1, 2009 (I originally read this about 6 months ago).

This book is advertised for young adults and I would recommend they be mature young adults. There is violence and death along with the goodness that is shown.

If this were a movie I would have to rate it PG-13.
