Catching Fire
5:35 PMAll right! All right! I know!!! I lied...
I was just reading the back cover of the book when automatically my hands searched for Chapter One, and before I knew it... uhmmm I ended reading several chapters! hahahaha!! Hahaaay!
I know! I said that I won't read it, well not until I watch The Hunger Games on the big screen, but.. but.. I can't help it! I'm sorry! Chooorrrooott! To make the long story short, yup! I finished reading the second book! Finished! Done! Toinks! :b
"She has no idea... the effect she can have" -Peeta MellarkTrue enough, Katniss has no idea what effect she brings to people. I broke my own rule just to see what happened to the Star Crossed Lovers of District 12. After becoming the victor of the 74th Hunger Games, uprising have begun in other district and her golden pin, the Mockingjay, represented the country's rebellion against the capitol. President Snow visited him to stop to uprising because oblivious with her actions she just triggered the bomb that had been ticking for a long time. On the Victor Tour, she needs to prove their act was only because of desperation of being the Star Crossed Lovers and she didn't want any rebellion to start.
I don't really want to compare the first and second book because they tackle different emotions of characters, it's beautiful in its own way. And it's really essential to read each book to get hook! Although the second book is not fast-paced unlike the first one, it provides just the right amount of suspense, just right that I'm starting the third book now! hehehe! I also found exciting twists on book 2, the funny moments are still there, and more bloody and torturous acts from the Capitol. Of course the romance part kept me reading all night long!
So if I may say.. Catching Fire is indeed a worthy sequel of Hunger Games! Love it!
"By late afternoon I lie with my head in Peeta's lap making a crown of flowers while he fiddles my hair claiming he is practicing knots. After awhile his hands go still.
"What?" I ask.
"I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now, and live in it forever," he says.
Usulally this sort of comment, the kind that hints his undying love for me, makes me feel guilty and awful. But I'm so relaxed and beyond worrying about a future I'll never have, I just let the word slip out.
"Okay," I say.
I can hear the smile in his voice. "Then you'll allow it?"
"I'll allow it."
-Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire
