Catchng Fire is the second installment in the Hunger Games trilogy written by Suzanne Collins. The book follows a dystopian plotline set an unspecified time into the future, on the continent of what was previously North America (The nation of "Panem").

                The book starts out a short while after the events of the first book leave off. The main character, Katniss Everdeen, had previously won a kind of annual tournament (In which every city-state -like district of the country sends a boy and a girl to fight to their deaths in an Arena. The even is organized yearly as a punishment for a failed rebellion attempted nearly a century earlier by the districts of the country.) and is back in her home district of 12. After a tour of the country post-tournament she sparks a hope of and unknowingly becomes the symbol of a rebellion. A series of events unfold and as it so happens, Katniss and the second victor (Due to a complication in the previous book, two victors emerged from the previous tournament [Known as the "Hunger Games"] as opposed to the traditional one.) are called back to compete against other previous victors in the following year's Games. A handful of the previous years' victors aid in the escape from the Games' arena and there is revealed to be a larger resistance than previously imagined, and from there anything written here may as well just be a spoiler.

                For positives and negatives of this novel, there honestly are not many downsides. The story is fairly original, and the plotline is extensively creative. As for a recommendation, anybody should at least try this book series; it's good for just about anybody as it has certain elements of comedy, romance, drama, action, etc.
