After Katniss defies the Capitol, she finds that once again
she will be going into the arena to fight in the Quarter Quell. Peeta will also
be joining her again. The fair advantage that they had in the previous Hunger
Games was that none of the players had ever interacted with the other tributes.
Now, the pair finds themselves at the disadvantage of being the only tributes
who don’t know anyone else… or their strengths and weaknesses. Not to mention,
what is it that everyone buy Katniss and Peeta seem to know about Katniss’s
mockingjay pin?
When I was given the chance to read The Hunger Games series for the first time, I was loaned the
trilogy and told to have them back in a week. I read through them like wildfire
and conclude that Catching Fire was
by far my favorite in the series. Where the Hunger
Games gave you plenty of detail, it still wasn’t enough to satisfy me.
Somehow, the sequel had me sitting on my bed and squeaking so much with glee
that my mom would occasionally check in on me to make sure one of my spells
hadn’t turned me into a mouse. The arena was well defined and the games were so
harsh that when the movie comes out, I will be yelling at the screen if I see
something not included.
You see this? We call it a map. Could also be called a spoiler if you haven't read the book. Why are you looking at this if you haven't read the book????
About the movie, I am a little scared to go see it. When I
was 17, a student at my school broke into my house and knocked me out. The guy
that plays Finnick is a carbon copy of that person.
Catching Fire was my favorite book of the trilogy too. The game arena was more exciting with the added feature of actually knowing some of the tributes and/or wanting to keep more of them alive, but not knowing who wants you dead! It also moved slowly enough to be able to get deeper into the scenes than the final book does.
