A while ago, we read The Hunger Games as a family. I really liked it, but for some reason I have waited a very long time to read the sequel, Catching Fire. Then on Thursday night I picked up the book and began to read.
It is incredible. The killer suspense, the blood and gore, the love and loss. I zipped through Catching Fire in less than a day, and moved on to Mockingjay. Catching Fire is a perfect balance of science fiction and reality. It captures the picture of Dystopian society, and yet has a certain elegance and beauty that cannot be described. Catching Fire is eerie, creepy, and an all around astounding book. I cannot wait to reach the end of the series. And although I enjoyed the first book, and will equally enjoy the next one, neither will come close to topping the sequel; Catching Fire.
