Catching Fire (Hunger Games ll)

Welcome to part two of the Hunger Games!  This one was really good too, although at parts of it I thought of The Hunger Games were better.  (Read my Hunger Games Blog first).
Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins, 391 pages


               Imagine being the cause of a revolution in a nation.  That is the situation that Katniss Everdeen faces in Suzanne Collins's Catching Fire, the second part of The Hunger Games.  During the Capitol's cruel "Victory Tour" for winning the Games, Katniss and Peeta learn that when Katniss pulled the berries to save both of them, everyone perceived it as an act against the Capitol, thus creating a revolution.  Then, it is time for the quarter quell Hunger Games, which are basically a glorified version of the Hunger Games that occur every 24 years.  It is announced that this time, past winners shall be competing against each other.  With Peeta's help, Katniss trains for the games, but Katniss's goal this time is only to save Peeta.  Will she succeed in keeping Peeta and maybe herself alive?  Throughout this adventure packed novel, Katniss Everdeen shows courage and perseverance.  If I were Katniss, then I wouldn't even have existed for any longer than the first page of the book.
