Background
Catching Fire is the 2nd book in the Hunger Games trilogy. It starts a few months after the first book ended and shows how Katness and Peeta cope with being out of the games. This next book fleshes out the character of President Snow and starts to narrow in on the politics surrounding the capitol. The next round of games brings in former champions and Katness and Peeta find themselves back where they started.
My Comments
Another great book but I didn’t like this one quite like the rest. President Snow is far too two dimensional to be real. He is the embodiment of evil and even smells of blood. This is better explained in the next book but for now, he remains a comic book super villain. The other characters become more likeable with the exception of Katness. In the first book she didn’t have a clue as to what was going on and that helplessness worked for her. Now, it’s just her modus operandi and it becomes a bit tiresome in this book. Still, it is a solid read and genuinely entertaining.
Recommendation
Sames as the last… A great read.
