Catching Fire is the second installment of The Hunger Games Trilogy. I picked this book up and started reading it almost immediately after finishing the first book.
Now a victor of the Hunger Games, Katniss is seen as a symbol of rebellion and has, without her realizing encouraged an uprising amongst the people of Panem against the Capitol. The government sees Katniss as a threat to the their power and this brings danger to not only her but also the people that she loves.

I liked Catching Fire a bit less than The Hunger Games. Its still full of suspense and as fast paced as the first book but I almost lost interest towards the last chapter of the book for reasons that I can’t mention to avoid spoilers. Upon saying that however, Catching Fire’s ending is great as it sets the pace for the third book which I think will be excellent.
The love triangle between Katniss, Peeta and Gale is a bit more apparent than the first book but am not sure how one can pick sides between the two boys seeing that Peeta gets more mentions and appearances in the book compared to Gale. Despite the lack of mentions, I’m hoping that Katniss will end up with Gale in the third book. I’m into outdoorsy men; bakers don’t excite me, sorry Peeta. *Go Gale*
I’ve enjoyed reading both books and I can’t wait for the third book to be released in August. I’ve also read that Lionsgate has bought the rights to make a movie based on the book. Let’s hope the movie version will live up to the reader’s expectation.
