Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins is the second book in The Hunger Games trilogy. The book picks up almost exactly where the first book leaves off. Now Katness and Peeta have to deal with the repercussions of both winning the Hunger Games. This book will show the harsh realities of living under the Capitals power, and will also give reader an insight of what it is like to live in the other Districts. Catching Fire also adds a new level of excitement to the Games because of twist in how the participates are chosen.
   Once again Katness and Peeta are forced into the Hunger games, but this time to protect the people they love. Because of Katniss defiance against the Capital she is now the symbol of rebellion among the Districts. Katness winning the Hunger Games is even more important because of the hope she gives the Districts. This can be seen when Plutarch says, "While you live, the revolution lives."
   I would recommend this book to anyone who read the first book in the series, unlike many books where the second book is not as good as the first I think this one can hold its own. I think this because there are new story lines that keep the plot moving. If you have not read the first book I recommend you go out and get it right now so you can enjoy the Hunger Games trilogy. I also recommend picking up the third book because Catching Fire is a set up for the third book and when you finish it you are going to be left wanting more.
   My only complaint with the book is that the first half is a little slow. Most of the action happens in the very ending of the book. I love the Hunger Games series because it is so different than anything I have every read before. If you read this book I am sure you will agree.
