Still reading....but questioning


Well I have started (and nearing the end of) Catching Fire. I am enjoying it. I really enjoy books that make me question as I read. To me, a good book makes a person WANT to know more, to leave them questioning the characters, the motives, the authors plan and more AS they read. Questioning allows readers to stay focused,to be engaged in the book and improve our comprehension. It keeps you wanting to know more. For me this serious has really done that. Some of my questions I had at the end of book one are being answered. But in this story, much of the story keeps leading me to new questions. For example, where I am currently in the story I find myself wondering the following:

What is happening in the 12 various districts while they are having this round of the hunger games?

Who of the previous victors have already lost in this battle?

Are the people/citizens in the districts getting the message the victors are sending?

What will the game makers do to the contestants IF they do decide to take a stand?

What are the people in The capitol starting to feel?

Last night I stayed up an hour later then normal just because I did not want to stop reading! I am off to try and finish the book today!
