Finished my book!

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It was a good sequel to the first book, a lot of creativity is evident in the way the plot unfolds Collins has a great imagination. being a 'teen' book i found the writing not as high quality as i like. the story is great, the writing level not so much. but its definitely a good read, if you likes the first one i think you will really enjoy the second.

Collins does a very good job connecting the reader to the characters which i firmly believe is one of the most crucial elements in any book, and the most crucial element in a piece of fiction. when you care about the characters you care what happens to the characters and therefore become so engaged in the story you cant put the book down. this is what I felt reading Catching Fire.

Everything in this book is top notch, I rate it 4 stars because of the writing quality. i found myself having to re-read paragraphs to really understand, and with so many important characters running around (24 tributes that include the two main characters, than the mentors, family, and lovers of the main characters, and a couple others) the people get jumbled and I found that sometimes I had to flip back a few pages to remember who these people were and what districts they are from.

all in all a highly recommended read, I've already acquired the third and final book int he trilogy and cant wait to read it.
