Katniss and Peeta have just won the 74th Hunger Games with the help of their mentor Haymitch and want to live peacefully. However, they have become targets of the Capital due to their suicide attempt during the games that sparked rebellion in some of the Districts. Despite their efforts, more and more uprisings occur. President Snow decides to have the next Hunger Game tributes be chosen from the current ring of victors. Now Peeta and Katniss are up against their fiercest competitors yet with so much more on the line.
Catching Fire is a brilliant sequel to the critically acclaimed Hunger Games. It is a suspenseful tale of murder, violence, deceit and friendship during tough times. Collins perfectly keeps the reader engrossed and on edge. I stayed up all night reading it! I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone that can handle all of the suspense. I plan to read the next book soon, as the cliffhanger at the end of this book left me wondering what would happen next.
