Why I chose the book Catching Fire

The reason I chose the book Catching Fire is that I was very interested in reading it. The reason for this is because I have read the first one and then got a little exited to read the next book in the series because the first book was very interesting to me and grabbed my attention. For me it isn’t often for a book to be able to get my attention the way this book did. The way it got my attention was what was happening in the book of how different factions had to fight. I really like that kind of stuff in a book with action and advancer. I think it just makes the book more enjoyable to read. Plus I’ve seen the movie and generally the book is better than the movie and the movie was pretty good so I have hi hopes for this book .

How the auther built suspens

The way the author built suspense in the book Divergent is by putting the main character Tris in many dire situations where it would leave the reader wondering what will happen next. One situation where this happens is at the beginning of the book when Tris had to take the aptitude test that will decide what faction she would go into. "The dog turns. Instead of growling, t barks and snarls and snaps, and its muscles bunch up like coiled wire. About to pounce. I don't think, I just hurl my body on top of the dog, wrapping my arms around its thick neck,"(Pg. 16). At this moment when I was reading the book I didn't know what was going to happen and it made me so interested that it was impossible for me to stop reading. Also later on in the book when other suspenseful parts come up I am totally inhanst into the story that it is difficult for me to stop reading and with all of this I think it helps the story be a bit more exiting.
