The second book in Suzanne Collins Hunger Game trilogy is Catching Fire. Although the second book started out much more slowly than the first, I quickly found myself back in the world of Panem. Although I was furious with the direction of the plot at first, I was able to put my anger aside and root for Katniss and Peeta.
The creativity of the author and her ability to describe Panem, the various districts and the characters is exceptional. I was totally immersed in the novel. Collins, similarly to J.K. Rowling, is quickly creating readers out of my reluctant 8th graders. A fact that I am forever grateful!
This novel ended far more abruptly than the first, leaving me anxious for the Mockingjay which is set for release August 24.
