Reading: Book 2 ~ Catching Fire


Catching Fire
by Suzanne Collins

This is the 2nd book in the Hunger Games series. This book picks up right where the first book left you hanging (at the end of the 74th hunger games). The main character, Katniss goes home to district 12. She moves to the big house that she was rewarded at the end of the games.

Her defiance to Hunger Games in the first book has created a movement that has caused disturbances in the other districts though she is not aware of this being there is no communication between districts. She begins to learn about these disturbances and then the president of The Capitol tells her she need to put this to an end on her victory tour. Instead of putting an end to these disturbances, she creates more problems.

This year is considered a Quarter Quell in which the Hunger Games always have some new twist (every 25 years). This year it is decided that the tributes will be chosen from the previous tributes. Being Katniss is the only girl that has won from her district, she will be going back to the arena, her worst nightmare.

This book takes you through the journey of Katniss on her victory tour through the Quarter Quell Hunger Games and once again leaves you with a cliff hanger which caused me to begin the 3rd book immediately.
