One would think that as the celebrated young victors of the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta would be off living a peaceful and luxurious life. But Panem's controlling government in the Capitol is out for them, because in their eyes the two teenagers have caused quite a rebellion throughout the nation's twelve districts. As the date of the Quarter Quell, a special Hunger Games taking place every 25 years that shows everyone the Capitol's power approaches, what kind of physical and emotional torture will the government think up next to punish Katniss and her friends?So I planned to buy my Catching Fire on Amazon right after it came out, but due to an unforeseen problem (higher prices at Barnes and Noble), I ended up waiting over a month to get it. Urgh. But anyways. I brought it to school every day and finished it almost entirely when I was in school. I win. I crack it open and find that although it's molded pretty much like The Hunger Games, the well-made returning cast of characters (and a whole lot of new ones) plus the unbelievably awesome world of Panem can totally make up for the recycled plot's backbone. Anyone with sense should read The Hunger Games and then immediately pick this sequel up!
