Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

Do you like books about survival, if you like books, and movies then chances are you've heard of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I just recently read the book and I was amazed. It was truly the best book I have read in a very long time. The protagonist is Katniss because the book is in her perspective. The Antagonist is President Snow because he is the one who thought the districts should be punished and does anything to stop the districts from rebellion, like what happened 75 years ago and having freedom. Catching fire is about Katniss Everdeen and her surviving the Hunger Games. In the first book she wins, but not really, in Catching Fire she realizes that she never really won the games, she survived them. Only to be told that she'll again be in the arena. She has only one goal after she finds out, and that is to keep Peeta Mellark alive. When she pulled out the poisonous berries in her first time in the arena it started uprisings in the districts. President snow was very angry. I really enjoyed reading this book because there was more detail and different things that happened in the book and movie. What the Capitol and President Snow do next is what you'll have to find out by reading Catching Fire.

Congrats on the feature!
