  • Description

    Catching Fire is the sequel to The Hunger Games. It follows Katniss Everdeen’s and Peeta Mellark’s return home to District 12 in Penam country after the end of the 74th Hunger Games.

    Summary Of The Book

    Peeta and Katniss are on a victory tour of the country after emerging as winners in the 74th Hunger Games. An angered President Snow comes to see them at their District 12 home for they owe their victory to Peeta breaking game rules in the final round. Snow tells Peeta that her actions have caused rebellions in the districts of Panem. Her first visit is to District 11, home to Hunger Games ally, Rue, where a tribute is made to her memory. She proceeds to visit all 12 districts and learns that her visits have not managed to subdue revolts. Her public proposal to Katniss also fails to placate President Snow.

    Soon after their return home, they hear the announcement for the 75th Hunger Games in which 24 previous victors will be forced to participate. Both Katniss and Peeta will participate. Katniss vows that she will try her best to ensure Peeta’s victory in the 75th Games. What happens in the 75th Game, which packs its share of new rules and surprises and with rising tension amongst the people of Penam against the Capitol in the backdrop, is what the book is all about.

    Overall, the book received positive reviews worldwide. It stood fourth in Time magazine’s top 100 fiction books of 2009 and eighth in People magazine's Best Books of 2009. It was decided that a film adaptation of Catching Fire would be released in November, 2013 to be directed by Francis Lawrence.

    Perfect sequel to the 1st book

    Book 2 is just as good as the first one. It is perfect page turner, and just as you think you have figured out some of the what is going to happen, Collins throws you in a completely different direction.
    The characters introduced to us in Book 1 are developed further and you will feel all the emotions of fear, joy, pain and relief with them.

    Not disappointing, not as exciting

    I've heard a lot of people complain that like most authors, Suzanne wrote the second book with a weak plot as a bridge to the next one in her trilogy.

    Well, it's not really true, in my opinion. Where in the first book the story took had people being smushed and action-packed awesomeness at every turn, in the second book it takes on a very political tenor.

    This plot occupies itself with all the scheming and political battles veiled under smiles that goes on. This book isn't just a 'bridge'...

    The Girl Who was on Fire

    May contain Spoilers if you haven't read the first book.
    "The Hunger Games", the first in the series, is phenomenal. This book however is a little slow in the beginning and gets fast really soon by the end. The Capitol is angry and wants revenge, but what is the most subtle way of showing it- The 75h Hunger Games. Katniss and Peeta have barely made it out of the arena alive, they are now victors and they return to District 12. They don't have to act like they are "in love" anymore, however wh...

    Amazing Sequel To Hunger Games

    If you thought the Capitol couldn't get any more twisted... you were wrong.

    The highly-anticipated sequel to The Hunger Games is the kind of novel that has you pulling back to take a breath and go, "How did the author think of this?" (if you can stop turning the pages long enough to breathe)

    Catching Fire picks up right where Hunger Games left off. Unrest in the Districts is growing at an alarming pace and Katniss unwittingly finds herself the figurehead for the movement against the Capitol...

    An epic sequel

    Flipkart - amazing delivery, within the promised time, you guys rock.

    I had read the first book and was waiting eagerly for the next book, and I was not at all disappointed. The pace of the book is in light years! The last line of every chapter has some twist and you just cannot predict anything. One moment Katniss is at home and the next she finds herself in the arena again. Suzanne Collins writes with finesse and you are on a roller coaster ride right from the first page.

    Done reading Har...

    Not-So-Bad-But-Not-That-Good Book

    After the breathtaking Hunger Games , this book was on top of my 'First To Read' books . But , I was disappointed when I finished this book . Except for Katniss And Peeta going to the Hunger Games again , Gale's affair with Katniss and the ending of the book , this was'nt that much I had expected . Still , it is a good read and you will like it enough !

    Totally Worth It

    much better than expected.still manages to us interested although bit slow to start an exciting and twisted ending .Collins has done that rare thing. She has written a sequel that improves upon the first book. As a reader, I felt excited and even hopeful: could it be that this series and its characters were actually going somewhere?" and also praised how Katniss became more sophisticated in the book.funny witty and charming
