Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

My Rating: 5 stars
*Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t read The Hunger Games, don’t read!*


The sequel to the amazing book, The Huger Games, is as breath-taking and suspenseful as the first.

Life is good for the 74th Hunger Games winners, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. They’ve got all the money they need to help their families survive in District 12. But, before their Victory Tour, Katniss receives a visit from Panem’s President Snow. He informs her that her and Peeta’s suicide act at the end of the Hunger Games sparked rebellion among the Districts. As the Victory Tour moves on, they realize the Capitol is angry. They defied the Hunger Game’s Gamemakers, and they want revenge.

When the victors return to District 12, they hear surprising news about the 75th Anniversary, the Third Quarter Quell. Not only is there going to be another game, but two victors from each district will be reaped, to go back into the area. Not only are Peeta and Katniss going back into the Games, but they know why the Capitol did this. They want to get rid of the rebellion-igniters. Back in the area, they realize who they can and can’t trust. And in the end, all of Panem realizes who will be the real victor.
