Katniss Everdeen has survived The Hunger Games, along with her 'Star-crossed' lover Peeta Mellark. Coming back should be easy for her, but with Peeta ignoring her and Gale, her long time friend, away with a new job, it's not that easy.
But that is not the only thing that is making her unhappy. The Victory Tour which awakens her nightmares from the games. Along the Victory Tour something else arises, rebellions against the capital and they are all because of the two 'Star-crossed' lovers. The districts did not see their victory as an act of rebellion. President Snow must stop these rebellions, so he calls on Katniss and Peeta to make the districts believe it was an act of love. When that fails he must do something more cruel.

My View
So this was my second time trying to read this book. I remember when my mother got it for me, she had been worried The Hunger Games would be to scary for me, but after I read it I begged her for the 2nd book. She got me the hard cover for Christmas, which now drives me insane because the rest of the series is in paperback. I was so happy! I began reading it an found it boring. I put it down. That was 2012 and I read it in 2014.
I hate to tell this to you guys, but I watched the movie before I read it *gasp*, twice. I wanted to read it over spring break, that first Monday, but I watched the movie. Technically I read it in a day, though, I read two pages that Thursday and the rest that Friday. So I hope that makes you feel better.
This book was hard for me to get through. I know a lot of people say that it is the best book in the trilogy, but for me it was not. The beginning was all about the Victory Tour, which I did not care about, all I wanted was the games. And that is what got me into the book. They were better than the first games. But that ending! I want to start Mockingjay, but I heard spoilers and it ruined the book for me, stop posting spoilers! So overall it was a good book not my favorite out of the series, but the movie did live up to it! Can't wait for the last book and the Mockingjay movie!
