just finished reading...

The second of The Hunger Games trilogy, this book was riveting. Although the first half of the book sort of dragged, the second half got me all twisted in knots with a cliffhanging ending. Now I've got to pick up the third book and find out how it resolves. I don't want to give any spoilers so I'll just say that I liked the description of the Victory Tour that Katness, Peeta and their teams take because it gave me a better understanding of Panem.

From the publisher:

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.
