Catching Fire

Blog response
# Of pages: 391
            Though she didn’t know it, her second hunger games would soon begin.  Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins, is a suspenseful story that engages the reader by showing how a girl, Katniss Everdeen, goes through some hard experiences.  These experiences include leaving her mother and sister behind for a second time, losing a friendship with her best friend, having to kill people, and seeing people die in misery.  Katniss is a brave and adventurous woman.  This is an interesting book and I suggest you read it if you like exciting books.
