Catching Fire

The Hunger Games, Book 2

De: Suzanne Collins

Narrado por: Tatiana Maslany

Sparks are igniting. Flames are spreading. And the Capitol wants revenge.

Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.

Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she’s afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she’s not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol’s cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can’t prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

Great book! But why does Peeta sound so stupid?

I love the book! I can't quite forgive the performer that she makes Peeta sound so stupid. His ability to speak and charm people is his great forte, and she makes him sound feebleminded. Her voice is great otherwise, but Peeta needs to sound smart and worth listening to.

Great Story, Incredibly Irritating Narrator

Love this book and series, but I almost can't get through this audio version. The narrator is so awful. Its as if Kristen Stewart is narrating, with a low, dull voice, barely any inflection, and often sounding constipated when Katniss is experiencing any emotional upheaval/ difficult decision, which is often. Her voice acting for Peeta is the actual worst! She makes him sound dimwitted and slow, which is the most irritating since he is my favorite character. The voice acting for Haymitch is not much better. I wish I hadn't purchased this version and will not purchase another audio book with this narrator.

Fantastic performance!!

Great performance, great content! Can’t wait to get book 3! Tatiana Maslany portrays Katniss perfectly!

Catching Fire

I don’t really need to review the book as I am sure most of you already know what goes down because of either the movies or you have already read it. But just to say I loved how innocent Katniss is. It reminds me to remember that she is still a young girl. She just has all this heavy stuff to deal with. But then she also has what is to come after the games happened. That is a lot for anyone to handle.

Gale kinda pee’d me off, you see he doesn’t understand how hard everything was on Katniss. He never really gave her a chance to explain herself or what she was feeling. Heck half the time she didn’t know herself. She never had the chance to understand what she was feeling because she had someone always keeping an eye on her.

I feel like everyone asks too much of her, even Peta at times didn’t see just how much pressure she was under.

That ending gets me every time.

I loved the narration, Tatiana give this book life. I love the way she gives each character a voice. I am so glad I decided to listen.

This book is good but…

I hate it how the narrator makes Peeta sounds so ignorant in the story
But this is such a great book! And the narrative fits Katniss perfectly.

preferred the narrator of the first book

it was still a good narration. I just thought the first narrator did a better job with makes voices which made it a bit easier to follow but I eventually caught onto the differences and it was still great overall.

Amazing narration

Great book and even better narrator. I listen to a LOT of audiobooks and Tatiana Maslany is the best narrator I’ve ever heard. I wish she could read them all.

Great Book

Amazing book! Im so glad this is here! Its an amazing book! Definitely recommend it!

better than the movie

while the voice struggles with male voices, they are consistent. letting you know who is speaking. great book and solid performance from the orator. excitment translates well.

Excellent second book

Thought it was an excellent book accompanied by an excellent narrator. I have always enjoyed the hunger games world
