Catching Fire (The Hunger Games #2) Review

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In general, Katniss annoys me. I think it's the way that she analyzes everything. Even at the beginning of the hunger games in book 2 she was like that. Because of the situations that she is in, that part of her tends to be more prominent as the series goes on. I guess that's what irks me so much about her. In the beginning of this book she went back and forth between wanting to run away or stay. She continues to be back and forth between her feelings for Peeta and Gale.

The first half of the book was just as depressing for me as was the first book. However, towards the middle, right when they were about to go back into the games, I started to like the story line a little. The games were intense as always, but I think it was the fact that Katniss had a team this time that made me enjoy the story a bit more. The end was unfortunate but I'm glad that people are now fighting back. I'm kind of anxious to read the last book to see how it ends.

It was really messed up the way Peeta and Katniss were not informed about the plan. Considering how closley they were watched, its not a shock. Still, I think they still could have acted the part if they had known the plan.
