Catching Fire and Mocking Jay

Review -catching Fire

Now that Katniss has won Hunger games she is provided with all the amenities for a comfortable life.Because of which she has nothing to do and is having trouble figuring out what to do with her empty hours.She also keeps thinking of the problem which she knows will show up sometime soon --- the repercussion of what she (and Peeta)has done by defying Capitol.The problem presents itself soon in the form of President Snow himself coming to her home ?What does the President Snow want from her And how does she end up being part of hunger games again ?And who wins hunger games 2 ?

This books starts from where the first one ends,like you are continuing the same book.Though this book in not engrossing as book 1 which I found hard to keep down,still it is a great read.The triangle story of Katniss,Gayle and Peeta still continues with even Katniss having trouble deciding between the two.Yet it is so unlike other love stories as this track does not form the crux of the story.This book goes more serious with different districts stating a revolution against Panem.What is truly engaging in this book series is to see is how Katniss thought process works .How she seems to think practically yet she is pretty impulsive and in your face when some drastic situation arises.

Mocking Jay

In last and final part of Hunger Games series --Katniss finally becomes the face of revolution.Though all she ever wanted was the safety of her family yet she sees herself inadvertely driving the revolution.And now she has to decide to actually become movements 'Mocking Jay' or not.This books becomes more muddled with distinction between friend and foes becoming more and more blurred.You can see all the people/places you are familiar with from earlier books are changing as the revolt starts.

This book is quite good and ,like Katniss, you yourself cannot be sure of what is happening around her.You are drawn in her world yet again making it a quite engrossing read.The ending I found to be quite realistic and suitable.Only problem I found with this book is in between I thought there were some unnecessary deaths which could have been avoided.I truly loved the fact at the end of revolution everything is not shown rosy rather it displays how war leaves its mark on people associated with it .
