"Catching Fire," by Suzanne Collins

Sex:1/5

Did I love it:5/5

A great sequel to "The Hunger Games." I felt it transitioned well from the first book. Just as amazing. A great read, and well written.

Plot: The heroine from the first book, Katniss Everdeen, moves on with her life after being crowned victor in the Hunger Games. However, she quickly learns that her method of winning was frowned upon by the President of Panem. He feels that her choices have sabotaged his government, and have sparked rebellion in the surrounding districts. She's challenged to undo what she's done in order to keep her family and way of life safe. Also, the romance continues. (I won't say more because I don't want to give any spoilers from the first one, except that *SURPRISE* she wins the Games.)

Sex: The sexual content is very mild. There is some teenage kissing (nothing too heated), and some references to people that are immodestly dressed. One character is routinely found naked, and another is dressed to emphasize his sexual appeal. We are told more about his sexual background, but only in hints and innuendos. There are no graphic descriptions of acts. Also, there are multiple scenes of a teenage girl and a teenage boy sleeping in the same bed together, but there is no romantic behavior associated with it.

Language: Not really any bad language. I can't even remember an "H" or "D" word.

Violence: There is a lot of violence, and instances of murder. However, the scenes are not overly graphic or cruel. I wasn't wincing while I read.
