Kristi read and liked Michele's review of Catching Fire (Hunger Games, #2):

"Loved it! The story picks up right before the publicity tour for Hunger Games begins. Peeta is still hurt about Katniss's pretending to love him to survive the games and the two have barely spoken. Katniss's relationship with Gale is strained and she...more Loved it! The story picks up right before the publicity tour for Hunger Games begins. Peeta is still hurt about Katniss's pretending to love him to survive the games and the two have barely spoken. Katniss's relationship with Gale is strained and she finds herself missing the little cottage she used to live in before moving into her post victory home. President Snow visits her right before she leaves and warns her the life of her family and friends is in danger unless she can convince everyone, even him that her eating the berries was an act of love and not rebellion. What Katniss is unaware of is that her defiant act of eating the berries has started a rebellion and she and Peeta (but mainly her) are the faces of it. Katniss is reluctantly shoved into a hero role. What no one was prepared for was the Capital's very special Hunger Games this year.

So I liked Gale from since we first met him the first book. I was looking forward to getting him to know him better in this book. We did get to see a little more of him but I still wanted more of him. I'm glad I'm not Katniss because how could you choose between Gale and Peeta? Peeta is so sweet and loves her so much! I love (and hate) love triangles where I love both of the guys. :(

This book had a lot more complexity in it than the first book, there are secrets, plot twists and an intense cliff hanger ending! I was pretty sure I had an idea of what was going on but I can understand why Katniss was so lost. She never asked to inspire a revolution. How long until the next book comes out?
