Review

 Catching fire is written by Suzanne Collins and is the second part of the hungergame trilogy.
Main protagonist is young Katniss Everdeen, who lives together with her mum and her little sister Prim in the new America which is called Panem now. Panem is separated into one capitol and 12 districts, and every district has its own assignment. District 12 is scaled for mining. Every year there are the hungergames, which are invented to remind the population of the great rebellion over 70 years ago. A girl and a boy from every district have to go to a big arena and there they have to kill each other until there is only one girl or boy left.

In the first book Peeta and Katniss won the games and so they were allowed to come back to their district again. Now they have to play the cruel games again. There they meet Finnick, Mags, Beetee, Johanna and Wiress. Together with them they decide to destroy the arena. Because of an invention of Katniss, they redirect the electricity of the dome and the whole arena gets destroyed.

Questions

The hungergames are definitely the best book I have ever read. Suzanne Collins wrote theme so thrilling and barnstorming that you can’t stop reading. My favourite character is Katniss, not only because she volunteered for her little sister, also because she knows what she is doing, she is confident and she saves all her friends.  

My favourite scenes are the ones with Cinna, Katniss’s stylist. He is the only one who gets trust from Katniss, and he really likes her. Everything that he is doing, is for her, it is because he will delights her and his mission is to show her, how much beauty is inside her.

I think the most important moment is, when Katniss and Peeta are in the talk show of Caesar Flickerman. Peeta asks Katniss to become his wife and everybody is overwhelmed when she says yes, also President Snow is around, especially to congratulate them. But President Snow is a very foul person who wants, that Katniss stops the rebellion, so she has to do everything to get the rebellion prohibited, otherwise Snow would kill Gale and her family. In this scene she asks him if this was enough, but he only shakes his head, so that only she could see it, but this head-shaking is  the biggest sign that she could ever get. Her last hopes got destroyed.

If I could change the plot, I think I wouldn’t do it, because all of the things that happen in this part of the trilogy are very important for the next part.

What I would ask the author is what thoughts she had, when she wrote the hunger games. I find it really interesting how people can make up their mind and write those stories.

The book is definitely a page turner, and the reason why is, that you can feel like Katniss after a while.  You are in the world of her and all of the things that happen to her are thrilling and kind of breathtaking.
