Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

     In the second book of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy, Catching Fire, Katniss finds herself disliking life as one of the two victors of the 74th Annual Hunger Games. In addition to having to parade around Panem in a Victory Tour while maintaining the story that Peeta and herself are lovers, her home life has become very difficult.

     President Snow is unhappy with the rebellion that seemed to spark when Katniss held out the poisonous berries. Districts seem to have found hope and promise in Katniss and are beginning to risk their lives to defy the Capitol. The fire is out of control, but President Snow holds Katniss responsible for the repair which cannot be done at this point.

Author Suzanne Collins

     In a disgusting turn of events, Katniss finds herself back in the arena with Peeta for the 75th Annual Hunger Games, a quarter quell. Every 25 years the Capitol does something even more sadistic than usual in the games and the District 12 victors are no longer as safe as they had previously thought.

Can Katniss and Peeta survive another round in the arena?
