Rating:*****

Recommendation: Five stars, it was amazing. If you have read the first book in this series, The Hunger Games, then you will love this book just as much, or even more! Its suspenseful, filled with intense action and a little bit of romance. It's a great read.

Summary: Katniss returned home from the hunger games, after sticking it the the capitol, and expected a pretty easy life after that. Then she got an unexpected visit from the president who pretty much threatened her because she started a small upraising within other districts against the capitol. He said she needs to make people believe that the capitol didn't fall for her trick that she pulled to win the games. She doesn't do very well and districts start forming rebellions. Theres rumor the the 13th district, that was destroyed because of a rebellion, was a refuge to capitol haters. Well we don't find that out and the 3rd book comes out in August.

Explanation or Rating: I gave it 5 stars because I was enticed the entire time. There were no parts that seemed boring to me, or a drag to read. Everything about this book was very well put together and very well written.

Favorite Passage: "As I drift off, I try to imagine that world, somewhere in the future, with no Games, no Capitol. A place like the meadow in the song I sang to Rue as she died. Where Peeta's child would be safe." -Ch. 24

I love this because it shows how Katniss really would sacrifice herself for Peeta. It shows she loved him, even if it't not in a romantic way, but she honestly cares for him.
