BOOK REVIEW | CATCHING FIRE (THE HUNGER GAMES #2) BY SUZANNE COLLINS

"The bird, the pin, the song, the berries, the watch, the cracker, the dress that burst into flames. I am the mockingjay. The one that survived despite the Capitol's plans. The symbol of the rebellion."

My Review
I wasn't really sure where the story was going to go from book one. It took me by surprise. I was so invested in this journey with Katniss and Peeta. I felt a connection to these characters in book two. Suzanne Collins really made Katniss admirable. I really feel like I know these characters by the great way Suzanne has portrayed them in her writing. 

Without giving too much away, Katniss' world just falls apart when she finds out she's back in the games. The Capitol is most definitely the enemy. She's still struggling with Gale and Peeta. It's such a good story. I'm blown away by her perseverance. Katniss is so kick ass! 

This one took me by surprise, and I cannot wait to see what book three has in store for me. I've heard so many mixed reviews. As for Catching Fire, obviously I recommend everyone to read this. Its for all ages, I'm making sure my daughter reads about strong female protagonists and this is one of them. Enjoy!
