Reading Reflection #1

I just finished reading the second book in The Hunger Games series called Catching Fire. I really enjoyed the first book so I was excited to start the second. Many things happened in this book that made me react in different ways. At times I was frusterated, excited, happy, and sometimes angry at the way the characters handled the situations in the book. There were many different ideas in this book that were incredibly clever and things I never would have thought of. I like to be surprised while reading a book and this book certianly delivered in that area. There were twists and the plot thickened more and more as I read on. At first I didnt think I could relate to anything that happened in the book. For example Ive never been forced to enter a tournament where I have to fight to survive. But as I continued reading I realized even though the main character, Katniss, is going through such serious issues that most likely will never happen in reality, she still struggles with the same issues as any other teenage girl.

I predict in the next book, Katniss will have many important decisions to make. She will be faced with situations she is not prepared for and will need to react quickly and effectively to try to make the right decisions for all of the people depending on her.

Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I am now starting the third and final book and I hope it contains as many twists and turns as the previous novels. I strongly recommend reading this series.
