Catching Fire

          I started reading Catching Fire. It is the second book of The Hunger Games series by Duzanna Collins. I have also already read this book. But I wanted to read this series again so I can better visualize it now that I have seen the movies. I really liked this series. In this particular book, I loved meeting Finnick.

          Finnick starts out as a shady character who everyone thinks is against Peeta and Katniss. But they all end up becoming allies in the arena and they ultimately become friends. Finnick is good-looking and kind. He saved Peeta's life which showed that he truly is on their side. I also met Beetee and Johanna Mason.

         These are also characters that Katniss meets and befriends while she's in the arena for The Hunger Games. Beetee is a middle-aged man who is extremely intelligent and very good with technology. He won the Games in the past because of his brains. Johanna is a girl who hates the Capitol and wants to fight them. She is loud and speaks outwardly. She is a fun and well-written character.

Finished The Hunger Games

          I have finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I thought the ending was very well written. In the book, Peeta and Katniss are only fake "star-crossed lovers" so that they can survive in The Hunger Games. But the ending truly shows their real love for each other. One of them has to die in order for there to be a winner and for The Hinger Games to be over. But because they both love each other, neither of them can see the other one die so they threaten the Capitol to kill themselves at the same time. The Capitol surrenders so there are two winners of The Hunger Games.

          When I was reading this book all I could think was how could an author come up with a plot like this. "The Hunger Games" must have come to her in a dream or something. I think Collins is a very great writer with a great imagination. I love all of the characterization and the setting of this book. The theme is thought-out as wel.

          The characters from each of the districts are planned out very well. I love how each of the districts have a different theme and a different job for Panem; a different way for them to provide for and work for the government. I love how this book takes place in a Dystopian society. If you liked this book, I would also suggest reading Divergent, Matched and Delirium.

The Hunger Games

           I have decided to reread The Hunger Games series. So this week, I started the first book. I have always loved this series and reading it after I saw the movie really helps me to envision the characters and settings better. I really love Katniss Everdeen, the main character, who has an amazing personality and very interesting characteristics that keep the reader intrigued. I also love the setting of this book. I love the dystopian society that this book takes place in. I love the plot and conflict as well. It makes you think about what would happen if you were put into the Hunger Games.

            If you haven't read the book, I would definitely recommend this book. Suzanne Collins, the author, keeps the story rolling. It never gets boring and something's always happening. There's always a different conflict that's occurring. I love the theme of war, survival and hope. I love how the main character is a girl. This way it shows all of the emotions going through her head and proves that woman can be strong and independent.

             I also love the love triangle in this book series. Gale is Katniss' hometown friend from District 12. They hunt for food together and they have been best friends for a really long time. They also may like each other more than friends. Then Katniss has to go into the Hunger Games and Gale has to stay home. The other tribute from District 12 is Peeta Mellark. Katniss meets him and they have to act like they're in love to stay alive so they can get the Capital on their side. But then they actually fall in love and this creates a love triangle.
