Catching Fire

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. This book has approx. 400 pages. This book is the second installment of the trilogy of the Hunger Games. Let me start saying that if you read my review for the Hunger Games, you would understand that i thought it was an amazing job. Know this book is beyond amazing. In my opinion its better than the 1st one. Second installments tend to (being brutally honest) suck. I feel that Ms. Collins surprised me to the limit. I feel like its not like any other book before because this book kept me from sleeping. It was a page turner, i couldn't stop. Also this book has the ending that will surprised me. It has an odd ending but you will end up craving the next one. I cant wait.

Inheritance Cycle

Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. These book has pages ranging about 700-999. They are very long books, but trust me they are worth it. These books begin in Alagaesia. They focus on a Eragon and his dragon Saphira as he becomes one of the few remaining Dragon Riders. The Dragon Riders were almost destroyed by a Rider named Galvatorix and the Forsworn. After the Fall, when most of the Riders were slain, Galbatorix claimed the throne of Alagaesia. The tyrant king's greatest fear is that a new Rider will rise up and usurp his position as king of the Empire. Through the efforts of the rebel group, the Varden, and their leader/founder, Brom a dragon egg is stolen from Galbatorix, and by a whim of fate, is thrust upon a young farm boy in Palancar Valley named Eragon. As Galbatorix attempts to capture Eragon and his dragon, Eragon begins a journey into the past and the future of Alagaesia. The fourth book is yet to be named and does not have a date on when it will come out. There is a lot of mystery and a lot of unexpected events that leave the reader breathless. I would recommend it to anyone who like to devour a fantasy book.

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It contains 374 pages. This is the first book in the Hunger Games trilogy. This book is about 16 yr old Katniss Everdeen whose fate brought her to annual event, the hunger games. Here, the Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts to kill amongst themselves until only one remains. This suspenseful and action packed book explains the theory of the survival of the fittest. It such a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a thrilling adventure. I am currently waiting the next book in the series, Catching Fire. The release date for the 2nd book in the trilogy is set to be on 9/1/09.
