Book Review: Catching Fire

I read the book Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins in which Katniss Everdeen, or 'the Girl on Fire' goes on a victory tour to every district in Panem including the Capitol. After her victor tour Katniss goes home for a little while and then finds out that she and her partner Peeta both have to go back into the arena for another hunger games. They both go into the arena but this time Katniss' mission is to keep Peeta alive. For the first couple days in the arena Katniss and Peeta just barely survive but soon enough they, and a few of their alliances have a plan to kill their enemies. In the middle of the plan Katniss realizes that she is not truly fighting anyone in the arena. The true enemy is the Capitol. Katniss shoots an arrow up into the sky of the arena and it suddenly bursts into a bunch of sparkles and Katniss sees the real sky. She is lifted into a hovercraft where her friend Gale tells her that their home, District 12, no longer exists.

In this book I truly felt that there was a strong theme of relationships and teamwork. I Felt the theme of relationships through the way that Katniss survived. She met people and they either helped her survive of helped her get stronger. I saw the theme of teamwork throughout the book but the one place that made me think of this theme was when the plan to kill some of the tributes came about. The plan was thought up by Beetee but to truly carry out that plan five people would have to help. Those were the two themes that I saw and what made me think of those themes.

I would recommend this book to people that like action books and are not afraid to read about some cruel deaths. The book also had a romantic twist to it so you can't be afraid of a little romance. I like this book because of the adventure and I like that you truly get to know a little bit about each of the characters. The writing in this book really lets you see the characters like you see your best friends. I really like that the book was written from a character's point of view. I really liked the book Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins.
