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

Reviewers were happy to report that the Hunger Games trilogy is alive and well, and all looked forward for the third book within the series after this one's stunning conclusion. But they disagreed over whether Catching Fire was as good as the original book Hunger Games or needs to be viewed as somewhat of an "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 used to be 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.
