This second Los juegos del hambre (the Hunger Games) novel continues the violence and action. As evidenced by the numerous blogs and Facebook posts, Spanish-speaking admirers are addicted to Katniss’ and Peeta’s struggles to survive. From the initial Gira de la Victoria (Victory Tour) to the spreading rebellion and Katniss’ romantic dilemmas, there are enough thrills and acts of heroism to satisfy eager readers. Ramírez Tello’s fluid Spanish rendition, which is as clear and direct as the original, adds to the novel’s magnetism and will leave readers eager for Katniss and Peeta to return to center stage.
