Review: Catching Fire Suzanne Collins

Catching Fire

Author :Suzanne Collins

Series: The Hunger Games

Publisher : Scholastic

Pages:391

Summary :

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.

My Review:

The  Hunger Games in my opinion is the hardest Book review to read because I am really always Shocked and my words are completely lost. Where to begin is the question I ask myself and I always come up blank. There are just so many things that happen in this book.

I guess I’ll start here – The characters, My favorite characters from the tributes was Finnick and I loved beetee for some reason I mean he was kind of cool in his own way. I also couldn’t help but like some of the others for their craziness that made me stop and laugh at the dumb stuff they did. Then again I believe they were trying to live life as the fullest .Then there is   Peeta, oh here we go again with the whole Peeta vs. Gale teams. To be honest I can’t help, but love Peeta for being honest with Katniss and trying to protect him and choosing her over himself. Then again then there is Gale, Who has been there for Katniss and been a friend all these years. They helped each other survive which is sweet and I believe that they have something that Peeta and Katniss don’t have, but I think there is something special about how she acts around peeta to. Now, as to how I will react for the third book is a mystery to me because my friends say they hate him after the third book so I’m not going to pick a side just quiet yet.

Well, When I found out there was going to be an annual games somehow I just knew what else would they do for it other than try to torcher them some more or else why would there be another book unless Prim or some other close by like Gale had got picked. Surprisingly I guessed accurately correct. When, they get into the training for the games I start thing what kind of arena are they going to be in this time? And what do you know I would’ve have never guessed that, that was where they were going to put them. The captiol is very tricky I mean the way they had this arena set up was like wow they thought of everything. Now what they don’t know and I love their trickness they had a plan to and they were certaitantly going to use it.

I don’t want to give to much a way, but I really enjoyed this book besides the fact that all my friends told me what was going to happen when I was in the middle of the book . It was a well written book that kept me on the edge when I didn’t know what was going to happen. Now Will she choose peeta or Gale.?  What’s going to happen in the third book? I honestly have no clue and I am going to keep it like that until I read Mocking Jay and I can’t wait to find out what happens.I am highly anticipating the movie to come out also ! GO THE HUNGER GAMES!  If you haven’t read The Hunger Games What are you waiting for it is AMAZING!

                                                                  Review:

I was wondering my local Wal-Mart and decided to see what books they had. So, I wandered off to the book section and found Nightshade. I had actually looked up the book the night before to see what it was about and I decided to get it . I immediately started reading after I got home.
This book was very different, but in a good way. I got into this book and couldn’t put it down. After the first day I was half way through the pages and there was a lot of pages in this book. The book had me on my toes because its one of those books where you know something’s going to happen, but you don’t know when.
The main character Calla was very confused on how’s on who she wanted to be with, who she should trust, and started to question everything that she’s ever been told to her about her history. There was a problem for me in this book. I loved it, but I just didn’t connect with her as well as I would have liked to. I mean I had a little of a connection. Quite frankly she became annoying at some points in the book; Some of the things she did was very stupid to me. Also, I really like Ren I connected with him more than Shay. I mean Ren was great even though he had the reputation to be somewhat of a jerk he showed a sweet side to Calla and wasn’t sure how to act around her. Shay was a rebellious, curious human for most part of the book and to me he was the bad boy sort of guy of the story. The pack was great! My favorite were the guys of the pack Mason, Nev., & Ansel. They all had a great personality and were funny for most part of the book.
Aside to all of that I loved it. I mean sure there were connection problems, but it was a great story to me and it kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat. Even though I preferred Ren over Shay I still was pondering the question in my head the whole story Ren or Shay it switched constantly since I tried to give Shay a chance. I will definitely be reading the next book. It was a great YA book to read for a change.

Review:The Hunger Games Suzanne Collins

        The Hunger Games

Author: Suzanne Collins
Series:The Hunger Games
Publisher: Scholastic
Pages: 378
Published:October 1,2008

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister Primrose, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before — and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Review:

The Hunger Games WOW! What can you really say? I have mixed emotions on this book. I can’t believe that I’ve never read this book until now. I actually wasn’t playing on reading it <Shame on me > until my friend who doesn’t even read was assigned to read it by one of the teachers at my school and he hates reading. When, he told me I had to read this I knew I had to read it if he liked it and what do you know it really was amazing! It was everything book bloggers had said it was and more.

This book left me guessing about some of these characters when the games begun. The one I was the most concerned with was Peeta. I really didn’t know if he was putting on a show just to have her on his side and kill her or was naturally friendly with her. I mean I was really thinking like Katniss. Oh, that reminds me of little Rue. To be honest just thinking about her makes me want to cry. Katniss treated Rue like her little sister because her sister would be in the same position if Katniss wouldn’t have stepped up. Katniss really was put to the test in this book – She did everything she could to save her life – she lied about her and Peeta, she had somewhat of a strategy and she stayed positive most of the time. When she wanted to give up she thought about her sister and what would she do if she wasn’t there for her. Most of all she promised her sister that she would try her hardest to survive and she stayed true to her little sister’s promise. In the end of the games it came down to not only who wanted to live and die, but who had the better skills and strategy.

At the and we were left with a cliffhanger.  I can’t wait to join Peeta and Katniss in  the next book(Catching Fire) to see what is going to happen now that Peeta is mad at katniss ? What’s going to happen to them now that they disobeyed the capitol? Who will take the blame? Will there be a punishment? Praise Suzanne Collins for writing this amazing book that’s now going to be a movie! How exciting is that?
