A review by lit_laugh_luv
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

5.0

I liked this more than book 1 honestly - the foreshadowing and suspense was even better this time around. Some of the secondary characters feel a bit flat though (largely by design) - I would have loved to get a bit more backstory on some of the victors, especially the ones who play a larger role. I'm sure that will happen in book 3 but that's basically the only critique I can give this.

I will be team Peeta forever and the nicest thing I can say about Gale is that he's a stupid little rat who wouldn't last one single DAY in that arena. If it was up to me, I would personally take him down just to feel internal peace before the sweet embrace of a Capitol-induced death. Gale is a stupid little booger and I hope book 3 brings nothing but pain and suffering for him.
