Catching Fire

Book two of the Hunger Games trilogy

by Suzanne Collins

This second book of the Hunger Games trilogy sees Katniss and Peeta as the first ever joint Victors of a bloodthirsty and mercilessly gruesome reality TV show.

 

The pair survived by challenging the power of the Capitol and now the ruthless President Snow wants revenge for their defiance.

 

In an attempt to quell the simmering unrest in the provinces, and to reassert his authority, the president reveals an ingenious and brutal plan which should rid him of his nemesis. But he has seriously underestimated the tenacity of the human spirit.

 

More than just a violent dystopian novel, the story boasts a wealth of subplots and a well developed cast of characters whilst maintaining a level of tension which makes it hard to put down.

What you thought

Reading the entire Hunger Games Trilogy, this is the one with the most romance and the one that appealed to me the most. When Peeta's undying love for Katniss proves right, right at the end Katniss finally sees what she's lost and what she's willing to lose when trying to gain it back, I'm trying to tell you what happens at the end without spilling the beans, so sorry, I can't tell you what happens! But I can't see why when you can just go to the library, or go to the trouble to buy the books, and let me be the one who can tell you, it's worth the trouble! A heart-warming novel, Suzanne Collins has exceeded herself, but it's up to you to find out if YOU believe that too!
