After hearing so much about this series and the cliffhangers it has, I am really happy that i bought both this and The Hunger Games at the same time. I read them back to back and now I’m just dying for the third and last installment of this amazing trilogy.

Catching Fire starts off a couple months after the events in The Hunger Games and only we learn what happened in this period through flashbacks. I found that was a great way to ...more

After reading The Hunger Games yesterday I hurried to get into Catching Fire today and I was not dissapointed.

Catching Fire is awesome! I love how Suzanne describes the relationship between Katniss and Peeta. Katniss is not sure about her feelings for Peeta, but in this novel, she is determined to save him when the Capitol announces that for the 75th Hunger Games (Quarter Quell), tributes will be selected among existing winners. President Snow must have thought that Katniss would perish while facing with a bunch of past winners. I pitied her that nightmares continued to haunt her dreams. As usual, Suzan ...more

As a punishement Katniss ends up on the arena again and Peeta volunteers for Haymitch. So the games start again, but this time the ...more

Before re-reading Catching Fire, I forgot how much I loved it! I do not know how she does it, but Suzanne Collins has done it again. It is as good if not better than the first book, The Hunger Games. This series is extremely addictive. I could not put done this book even though I have read it before and know what is going to happen. With all of the action, it is such an exciting book. No wonder it was a quick read.

Like the last book, the characters are just amazing! Katniss is the same as the la ...more

"I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite."

I almost forgot to sleep when I started reading Catching Fire. Pieces are starting to move immediately at the start of the book and the fast-paced approach of delivering the story adds to the thrill and breathtaking follow-up to Hunger Games.

Suddenly, Katniss found herself caught in-between the unrest brewing amongst the District and trying to live as a Victor back in District 12. Her feelings for both Gale and Peeta doesn' ...more
