Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

I finally read the book and it beat The Hunger Games and Pretty Little Liars by far. I had to stay up till 11:30 to finish it! WARNING: DO NOT READ REVIEW IF WANTING TO READ FIRST BOOK. HIGHLIGHT BELOW TO SEE REVIEW!
After Katniss and Peeta survived The Hunger Games, they now have to go on their wedding/victory tour. It goes well until Katniss hears of the uprisings in several districts. And soon, President Snow devises an evil twist to the Quarter Quell: The victors must fight each other. Can Katniss trust the other victors? Or will they all betray her in the end?

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody:
Mama, ooooh (way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I've never been born at all!

Ok, those lyrics are appropriate for a book called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It's about a girl named Katniss Everdeen who is chosen for an event-you guessed it-The Hunger Games. This story is set in the future, in the ruins of Norht America. They renamed it to Panem and there are 13 districs. Well, there was a 13th distric. Now there's only 12, district 1 being the rich, 12 the poorest. Katniss is from the 12th distric. When Katniss takes her sister's place in The Hunger Games, she is joined by Peeta Mellark. With 12 girls and 12 boys (a girl and boy from each district) they must fight to the death with only their sense, limited presents from their sponsors, what's around them, and each other. If you want to find out who the winner is, you must read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

Also, the sequel, Catching Fire came out and you can read the first 2 chapters online. WARNING: SCHOLASTIC DID NOT SHOW THE WHOLE SECOND CHAPTER! Somebody's going to loan me the copy of it so I'm really excited! =^D
TTFN,

P.S. This book also beat Twilight, but not Pretty Little Liars. Yet...
