Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2)

I have to say this book is much more than a step up from the first book. I thought the first book was ok at best, but this book it better on an epic scale. If you are reading this, I am assuming you have read the first book.
Katniss & Peeta Controversially win the 74th Hunger games. Controversially, because there is only supposed to be one winner of the games, these two choose to kill themselves rather than kill each other. This act of defiance is the spark for a revolution. The evil President Snow (Leader of the Capital) tells Katness to either smother out this spark before it ignites, or people close to her will be killed.
The revolution starts small and cases small disruptions in the capital and ends up with the "Peacekeepers" (Capital police force), becoming more brutal in all districts (including District 12). This time, the Hunger Games is the Quarter Quell (celebrating 25 years of the game), which allows special stipulations in the games. Can Katness defy the capital again?
This book is less action packed then the first but a lot more emotional. Katniss is more herself in this book rather surly, badly tempered, and emotional. Peeta is her polar opposite likable by everyone, managing to rally everyone with his words; I think Katniss even admits he would be a better revolution leader then she ever wood so she is determined to martyr herself so he can live.

Thanks Kat. I was not a great fan of this series but this my faverite of all 3 books.
I read this series very fast because it really trapped me. It is very good.
Hi Neilly it was not my faverite series but this was my faverite book of the series.
I'll always love this series! Great review
Totally agree with you on the fact that this book is just a huuuuge step ahead from the first book's level. It is too intense and keeps you hanging on the edge of your feet on every page. Great review, thank you
Cool El and thank you. I thoygh this was the best book of the Trilogy.
this was a great review. I read this book and loved it. It got straight to the action unlike the first book. I liked how you put in your own thoughts about the book as well. 10/10 for the review. Keep up the good work
Thank you very much Aiden. This is my favourite book of the series.once again than you.
the book was fantastic over all and it was better then the first book. but i mean i forgot most of the begining couse i stoped reading for like my intire school year. but i shouldnt've quit reading. it was good at the end. this is what i like about these books there boring in the begining but get real goooooood at the end.
This book truly was a step up. Im so happy that it was better than the first and wasnt suffering from second book syndrome. I love how every chapter may be a little boring but theres always a cliffhanger at the end of every chapter. Ive tried writing my own stories like this and I fail 3 chapters in. Also, this review is great. Gives a pretty good description of what the book is like 10/10. If I hadnt read it, this wouldve made me read the book. :)
I agree, this book is so good. I love this book.
