This is the sequel to Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games and finds its unlikely hero Katniss Everdeen again thrust into the world of the games. Written from Katniss’ perspective, Catching Fire, is an exciting yet sad action story as this teenaged girl is exposed to things no adult should even have to face. We are kept guessing throughout the story about who is friend or foe and the Gamemakers have many surprises in store for the contestants. Add to the story the fact that the leaders of two rival factions seems to want to both use and kill Katniss.
The book is worth reading and my only gripe is that it really necessitates the third book in the series. While the storyline technically ends the story goes on. Fortunately for me I have the third book.
