Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

*May contain spoilers for The Hunger Games!*

Katniss and Peeta have miraculously survived the Hunger Games. They are now back in District 12, living in Victors Village. But nothing can go back to normal like Katniss wants, and people are turning their backs on her. And as she sees on her victory tour, her actions in the arena have caused a uprising against the capitol.

For me the beginning was like the Hunger Games, a bit slow. The thing that kept me going was the act that I had experienced Collins’ writing before, and pretty much knew it would get better. And it did. Katniss and Peeta go on a victory tour of the 12 districts, which is what the first bit of the book is about. The book is difficult to explain without giving spoilers. Let me just say that this will not disappoint any fans of the first book. There is action and love and many more emotions, like the first one. Many say this is better than the first, and while I don’t quite agree, it is still an excellent book worth reading.
