An able "bridge" novel between the first and third books in the trilogy, Catching Fire does a fine job of showing the larger picture of Panem, the growing spirit of rebellion, and Katniss's ongoing frustration at being manipulated (by both sides of the conflict).

Better than the first book, but you could see the plot coming a mile away. Not surprisingly, the same problems (present-tense style, insecure character) repeat themselves here.
