Recently, I have been reading a Suzanne Collins book called Catching Fire. It is the second book in the Hunger Games series. It continues after the first book, Katniss Everdeen, along with Peeta Mellark, won the seventy-fourth Hunger Games deathmatch. In Catching Fire, they learn that uprisings have been started by them accidently. The Capitol’s president Snow threatens to kill Gale and Katniss’s family. After that, Peeta and Katniss learn that they must compete in the Quarter Quell, which is pretty much another version of the Hunger Games that occurs every twenty-five year.

I really have liked the series so far, because of the unexpected twists that Suzanne Collins throws in. I like how the books start with one problem, then slowly build up to many in a systematic way. I wonder if Haymitch makes it through the Quarter Quell. I wonder if Gale survives. I am curious to see what the Quarter Quell’s environment is going to be like. If there will be trees or not, forcefields, killer animals, or oceans. I also want to know what happens to Katniss and Peeta’s allies. I love this series, and can’t wait to finish this book and go on to Mockingjay.
