Catching Fire

 

Catching Fire By: Suzanne Collins

It's been so much fun revisiting this series. There are actually a lot of details that I had forgotten about and that aren't mentioned in the movies. It is fun to see the relationship between Katniss and Peeta and the other victors. Also Suzanne writes about the more human side of trauma. That is to say the way humans react to trauma and just how much their body can take. It makes the story more real, raw and believable. I really love that. It helps to really relate to the characters on a personal and real level. Its a little harder to do that with the "supernatural" characters that can take a massive beating, get up brush themselves off like nothing happened and then rush back into the battle.
