Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.If you loved The Hunger Games, you will love Catching Fire! I don't want to say too much about it and end up spoiling something for those who haven't read it, but I will say that Suzanne Collins took this book in a direction I hadn't anticipated . . . and I couldn't have asked for a more compelling story. I laughed, I cried, I gasped in disbelief. I loved every amazing moment. And, of course, there is the love triangle. If you haven't already chosen sides -- Peeta or Gale -- be prepared to do so. We all know I'm rooting for PEETA. I adore him!
Once again, my only complaint is that it ended too soon! And now I have to wait until next year for the conclusion. I hope it passes quickly.
5/5

I'm starting Hunger Games today!!!
Ugh!! I ordered this book off of Amazon a month ago, and it still hasn't come in!! I'm jealous. I want to read it.
It's been a month and you haven't gotten it yet?! Amazon is usually really good about getting things out quickly. Did you order something else with it? That may be the reason it hasn't come yet. Sorry, Camille! It's REALLY good!!
I ordered Graceling with it.. They say on the website that I'll be getting it within the first week of October.
Graceling or Fire? I can understand if it's Fire because that comes out on October 5, but Graceling came out last year. Strange.
Yes, I meant Fire. Sorry. Now it all makes sense. I would feel better, though, if they would send the books individually. I want to read them!!
Yeah, that stinks! I'd lend you my copy, but you live so far away! Hopefully you'll have your books within the next week and a half...
