Collins, Suzanne. Catching Fire, Book Two. New York: Scholastic, 2009. Print.

 “No!” she screamed as she awoke from from her gory, terrible dreams, covered in sweat and fiercely shaking. Katniss Everdeen, a tribute from District 12, thought her living nightmare was over when she and her star-crossed lover Peeta Mellark were crowned victors of the 74th annual Hunger Games. She was wrong. Every 25 years, the capital holds a different kind of Hunger Games called the Quarter Quell. It’s different because the Capitol gets to make the rules on who goes to fight. This year, President Snow decides to send Katniss and Peeta back to the dreaded Games. Though Katniss is unaware of it, her allies and mentor, Haymitch, have made a plan that might just help help her to get the fire burning in the Capitol and control of Panem. Just what she wants to do; make Snow pay for his debts.

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins was an amazing book! It’s detailed, suspenseful, and fast paced. So much can happen so quickly! New problems, new enemies, new deaths. The book is hard to put down, you’ll always want to know what will happen next! Characters like Katniss, Haymitch, and Peeta are so well sculpted and formed, you would think they were based on real people, with real feelings and thoughts.
