The moment I finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, I needed to read obtain the second book in the trilogy. The two library systems used by our family had a wait list, so I got the Kindle version immediately. Normally, I can wait; however, I needed to start the second book Catching Fire.
The book was just as fulfilling as the first one. DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU WANT TO READ THE FIRST BOOK--SPOILER. This book leaves off after Katniss' victory in the 74th annual Hunger Games and the unheard of saving of TWO winners--her partner Peeta. Katniss learns that winning is not always positive, and now she is a pawn for the government. She needs to maintain an appearance that she is in love with Peeta--which adds further complications to the plot. Now, a year later, Katniss and Peeta must compete in the 75th Hunger Games with all former champions.
A well-written adolescent lit book that is enjoyed equally with adult readers. When I finished, I was glad we had a copy of the third book upstairs!
