Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Oh this was fantastic too. If you've seen the film first, like I did, then you already know what happens, and I'd say the film is very true to the book, the only difference is a little restructuring to make the film's narrative flow more that being a book, it didn't need, you can keep going back and forth because it's a book.

This is the sequel to The Hunger Games and continues the story a few months after the last book. When I started reading it, I couldn't put it down and stayed up really late to read it. That's how I know it's a good book. I may have cried whilst reading it, not full on bawling tears, but leaky eye kind of crying.

A little scared to read the third one as I know it's different to these two, and as I don't know what's ahead. Maybe I'll muster up a little courage.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

My plan, and it was a wonderful plan, was seeing as I was enjoying movies, I'd wait to read the books. Then, a friend I truly love, dropped the "I'm amazed you haven't read these yet" line, and that was it, that little gnat buzzing around my mind. I got home and started reading.

I got through this book in a day, as I couldn't put it down.

You know when you are really into a book, as you can see a 'movie' play in your head. I had the movie playing and I was enjoying the ride.

I am so happy I've read this and I urge you all to do the same.
