Starred Review. Gr 7 Up--Every year in Panem, the dystopic nation that exists the place that the U.S. utilized to be, the Capitol holds a televised tournament by which two teen "tributes" from each from the surrounding districts fight a gruesome battle to the death. in The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, the tributes from impoverished District Twelve, thwarted the Gamemakers, forcing the crooks to let both teens survive. In this rabidly anticipated sequel, Katniss, again the narrator, returns home to find herself more the biggest market of attention than ever. The sinister President Snow surprises her having a visit, and Katniss’s fear when Snow meets with her alone is both palpable and justified. Catching Fire is divided into three parts: Katniss and Peeta’s mandatory Victory Tour with the districts, preparations to the 75th Annual Hunger Games, as well as a truncated version from the Games themselves. Slower paced than its predecessor, this sequel explores the country of Panem: its power structure, rumors of a secret district, as well as a spreading rebellion, ignited by Katniss and Peeta’s subversive victory. Katniss also deepens being a character. Though initially bewildered with the interest to her, she comes almost to embrace her status as the rebels’ symbolic leader. Though more in the story occurs outside of the arena than within, this sequel has enough action to impress Hunger Games fans and instead gives off enough questions tantalizingly unanswered for readers to be desperate for the next installment.

Reviewers were happy to report the Hunger Games trilogy is alive and well, and looked forward to the third book in the series after this one's stunning conclusion. But they disagreed over whether Catching Fire was just like the original book Hunger Games or ought to be viewed as somewhat of your "sophomore slump." Several critics who remained unconvinced by Katniss's romantic dilemma made unfavorable comparisons to the human-vampire-werewolf love triangle in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. But most reviewers felt that Catching Fire had been a thrill because Collins replicated her initial success at balancing action, violence, and heroism in the method in which will enthrall young readers without providing them with (too many) nightmares.
