Catching Fire

Catching Fire
by Suzanne Collins

This is the second book in The Hunger Games trilogy. Please refer to my 11-14-08 posting to read about The Hunger Games - which you must read first! The sequel is fantastic, with Katniss now home in District 12. Slowly she begins to realize that all is not as it seems in Panem. She knows she has angered her government and fears for the lives of her loved ones. Security is cracking down in her district and it is hard for her to know whom to trust. Then, the unthinkable happens. Katniss’ character has become more cynical but she is still strong, both mentally and physically. The plot is again full of twists and turns and is another terrific read. It will be hard for me to wait for the next book!
