Ah, Catching Fire. I'm trying to write a review but do I even have words for this magnificent, mind blowing book? You see books all over and almost every single book you read is New York's best seller, and you think to yourself "is every book ever made New York's Bestseller?". This book and the trilogy has received many great reviews and titles but are they all really true? Well, you get to decide that for yourself. All I can do is tell you about my long never ending tale with this book. I initially started reading The Hunger Games because all of a sudden everyone was into it and all my friends were screaming over Liam Hemsworth. I did not know what the big deal was. I put off reading the books at first but I gave into the peer pressure eventually. Oh my, it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Catching Fire is a sequel to The Hunger Games and prequel to Mocking Jay, author Suzanne Collins. Catching Fire follows the devastation left by the annual 74th hunger games and how it effects everyone that is suffering from poverty and under the grip of President Snow (a dictator). But mostly it further follows the life of Katniss Everdeen, the main character, a young girl who volunteered herself as a tribute just so her sister won't have to suffer the horrible consequences of being chosen as a tribute and everything horrendous that follows when they leave their districts for The Capitol. This book is about corrupt government who wants everyone under their feet scared to look up. Government who will crush you like an ant under an elephant's foot. This book is about how media effects the world and our perspective just by being "professional", saying a few words and making little changes in every truth. In this book you will see Katniss trying to survive yet another hunger games but this time it will not just be another tributes from 12 districts. THIS TIME IT WILL BE THE VICTORS. The victors from all twelve districts will come together in one arena, and fight and kill to survive something so horrible that is never ending. In this book you will see the ant, Katniss, climb up inside of the elephant's trunk, President Snow, and bite him. In this book you will see the start of a rebellion. In this book you will wait, wait and wait for ant's poison to spread through inside of the elephants trunk. You'll see the elephants trunk swell, making him hard to breath and you will wait. oh, will you wait. Can a tiny little creature, so tiny that it's hard to see most of the times defeat a creature that is apparently known as the biggest land animal? - SofiaRead full review
