Review: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Title: Catching Fire (Hunger Games, book 2)
Author: Suzanne Collins
Release: October 1, 2008
Purchase this book: Amazon
Goodreads Entry: here
Genre: Young Adult
Rating: 5 Stars
SPOILER FREE, I PROMISE! 
You may notice, I left out the blurb above…. I was posting it but then I realized its way too spoilery for those of you who have not read book 1 yet. In fact I am really not sure how to review Catching Fire without spoiling book 1, so I am going to keep this brief.
Just as they did in Hunger Games, the characters in Catching Fire captured my heart and didn’t let go. I sobbed several times and I will even admit there were times I wanted to throw the book. The story and the situation surrounding Katniss feels so desperate, its emotionally exhausting. I kept muttering to myself how things weren’t fair and at times I questioned my sanity for becoming so emotionally connected to this story. But isn’t that what a good story is supposed to do for you? A great book binds you to its world and the people in it, it keeps you reading even when your heart is breaking.
Catching Fire easily earns a 5 star rating from me. Once again Suzanne Collins delivers on the emotion, character depth, and suspenseful plot that keeps this Vixen coming back for more. If you haven’t started this series yet, I ask… what are you waiting for? The final book, Mockingjay, comes out this summer and you won’t want to miss it.

(whimper) no blurb? No spoiler? What are you trying to do to me!
PS never read Suzanne Collins what are her books like? If at any point in your reply you would like to add a flow chart I’m game.
LOL KC.
Her books are so interesting… so well written. No paranormal or supernatural stuff, but there is some Young Adult love triangle (its subtle)…. but mostly its good suspense story that tugs at your emotions because the world is so disturbing!
I admit, you have me intrigued by this book. Your comments on GoodReads got me wondering….
