Catching Fire (The Second Book of the Hunger Games) [Kindle Edition] price

Starred Review. Gr 7 Up--Every year in Panem, the dystopic nation that exists the location where the U.S. accustomed to be, the Capitol holds a televised tournament through which two teen "tributes" from each with the surrounding districts fight a gruesome battle to the death. Inside Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, the tributes from impoverished District Twelve, thwarted the Gamemakers, forcing them to let both teens survive. In this rabidly anticipated sequel, Katniss, again the narrator, returns home to find herself more the middle of attention than ever. The sinister President Snow surprises her with a visit, and Katniss’s fear when Snow meets along with her alone is both palpable and justified. Catching Fire is divided into three parts: Katniss and Peeta’s mandatory Victory Tour with the districts, preparations for your 75th Annual Hunger Games, as well as a truncated version of the Games themselves. Slower paced than its predecessor, this sequel explores the country of Panem: its power structure, rumors of the secret district, along with a spreading rebellion, ignited by Katniss and Peeta’s subversive victory. Katniss also deepens like a character. Though initially bewildered with the attention paid to her, she comes almost to embrace her status as the rebels’ symbolic leader. Though more from the story happens away from arena than within, this sequel has enough action to thrill Hunger Games fans leaving enough questions tantalizingly unanswered for readers to become desperate to the next installment.

Reviewers were very happy to report that this Hunger Games trilogy is alive and well, and many types of looked forward for the third book inside series after this one's stunning conclusion. But they disagreed over whether Catching Fire was as good as the first book Hunger Games or needs to be viewed as somewhat of a "sophomore slump." Several critics who remained unconvinced by Katniss's romantic dilemma made unfavorable comparisons to the human-vampire-werewolf love triangle in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. But most reviewers felt that Catching Fire used to be a thrill because Collins replicated her initial success at balancing action, violence, and heroism in a very method that will enthrall young readers without giving them (too many) nightmares.
