a decent middle book
This wasn't as well executed a book as "The Hunger Games" but still a very thrilling tale with characters you couldn't stop thinking about.
Well written, action-packed read
This book kept my interest throughout the entire thing. I read it in two days and then wished I had made it last a little longer! I definitely reccommend this book.
Very Good
Once again, thought provoking and exciting page turner. My only complaint is that because of the first person narrative from Katniss' point of view, this and the third book miss out on a lot of interesting things happening in the revolution elsewhere - very narrow.
SO GOOD
I love the plot of this book- It's just as good as the first book in the series which is really hard to do!
a have-to-read kind of book
This book was very unexpecting. I mean, who knew Katniss would get thrown right back in the arena while District 12 was being destroyed? It was still extremely thrilling and just as good as the Hunger Games. Suzanne definetly knows how to get people hooked and reading!
awesome
intense book
Good Book
This book was probably my favorite of the trilogy (I also really liked the first one, but having seen the movie before reading it I knew what was going to happen so I was not as surprised). There were a lot of plot twists which made it very interesting. Once I started reading this book it was hard to put it down.
more twists
I found that this book was even more interesting than the first - there were more twists in the plot
The Best
The Hunger Games are awesome and easy to read!
Awsome!
very good book but not as good as the first one in the series
Must read twice!
A great follow-up to the first. Catching fire continues to comment on our culture while telling a captivating story. Make time to read this one twice - all the pieces come together at the end and I enjoyed it even more the second time (read it twice back to back - seriously!).
Good!
good book
Engaging
This book was a lot of fun to read, for multiple reasons. First and foremost, it revisited the characters and the world that had been built up in the first Hunger Games book. But it did more than just revisit them--it built on them in new ways. It was interesting to watch Katniss evolve over the course of the story as she struggled with nightmares and the terror of the arena that had never really left her. It was also interesting to read about previous and new Hunger Games--not just the previous one, but the one featured in this book, as well as one from twenty-five years ago, when Haymitch won. The story was just as good as the first one. If you liked The Hunger Games, don't miss this!
Really Good
this book, not as good as the first, but still good. Join Katniss and Peeta as they try to survive in the Quarter Quell. Watch how they try to bring down the Capitol.
Amazing!!!!
Loved it!! I recommend it!!!!
Good
This book is really good. I loved reading it. The first book is better than this one though.
Amazing
good book and follows up to the third book
SO good
I really liked this book, I thought it was a great addition to the Hunger Games series, if you have read the first book, read this one! And don't forget to read The Mockingjay after this book :)
Keep Reading! Don't Stop!
Catching Fire may have a boring introduction, but it is all building up to a terrific second half of the book. Couldn't put it down!
Amazing book
The book Catching Fire is just as exciting and nail biting as the first. I love how fast pased this book is and I love how you can't put it down it makes you want to read more. I just started to read the final book in the series and it has started off on the right note as the last 2 so I look foward to reading it untill the end. So if you have become just as hooked on this series as I have this is the book you will continue with.
