Starred Review. Gr 7 Up--Every year in Panem, the dystopic nation that exists in which the U.S. employed to be, the Capitol holds a televised tournament where two teen "tributes" from each from the surrounding districts fight a gruesome battle on the death. in 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 discover herself more the center of attention than ever. The sinister President Snow surprises her which has a visit, and Katniss’s fear when Snow meets along 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 for that 75th Annual Hunger Games, as well as a truncated version with the Games themselves. Slower paced than its predecessor, this sequel explores the world 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 as being a character. Though initially bewildered with the interest to her, she comes almost to embrace her status since the rebels’ symbolic leader. Though more with the story happens away from arena than within, this sequel has enough action to thrill Hunger Games fans and instead gives off enough questions tantalizingly unanswered for readers to be desperate for the next installment.

Reviewers were pleased to report the Hunger Games trilogy is alive and well, and all 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 initial book Hunger Games or needs to be viewed as somewhat of the "sophomore slump." Several critics who remained unconvinced by Katniss's romantic dilemma made unfavorable comparisons for 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 a way that will enthrall young readers without providing them with (too many) nightmares.
