Catching Fire (Hunger Games #2)

WARNING! IF YOU HAVE'NT READ THE FIRST BOOK (THE HUNGER GAMES) YET, DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW! I REPEAT DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW!!!
Whoa, didn't see that one coming. This book probably had the BIGGEST twist I have ever read. I never saw that one coming!!! And talk about horrible cliff-hanger! Good thing I'm going to the library soon to get Mockingjay. So this book is Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and it is the second of the Hunger Games trilogy. So here's the review:
Katniss Everdeen survived the Hunger Games already, and more importantly so did Peeta. Who could ever want more? But Katniss's life is now even worse than it was before the games. Ever since she and Peeta dared to commit suicide in the Games by eating those poisonous berries, the Capitol is angry. The districts are in rebellion, and it's all Katniss and Peeta's fault. To make things even worse, they have to go on a victory tour to all 12 districts, where the people secretly hate them for killing their people. On top of that, Peeta has been ignoring her, and so has Gale. Katniss is all alone. With the rebellions going on, are they all on Katniss's side? Are they here to take down the Capitol? Read this book for the most AMAZING twist you never saw coming...
Seriously, I was about to die when the book changed completely. I had read over the paragraph again and again to make sure I read it right. I was like, "Is this really happening? What's going to happen?" This is probably one of the few books where I had NO IDEA how it was going to be resolved. I like books like that. Actually, I love books like that! Not to mention the killer cliff-hanger at the end of the story! I was like, "Please let there be one more page, don't let it end here." Well, at least Mockingjay is already out!
Katniss was as real as ever before, she was one of the few characters I've read that actual were more like a real person, not just some words. She had feeling and was written so well, I have to give some hat's off to Suzanne Collins. Peeta was more or less the same.
I thought the beginning was a little slow, but that was BEFORE the big twist, which actually comes in pretty early. After that, non stop action and page after page of not knowing what's going to happen next. This book is unpredictable.
Stars: 6 out of 5
Status: MUST READ! (Of course, before you read the first one, The Hunger Games)
