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

Reviewers were pleased to report the Hunger Games trilogy is alive and well, and looked forward to the third book inside the series after this one's stunning conclusion. But they disagreed over whether Catching Fire was just like the original book Hunger Games or ought to be viewed as somewhat of the "sophomore slump." Several critics who remained unconvinced by Katniss's romantic dilemma made unfavorable comparisons on the human-vampire-werewolf love triangle in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. But most reviewers felt that Catching Fire was still being a thrill because Collins replicated her initial success at balancing action, violence, and heroism in the method that will enthrall young readers without going for (too many) nightmares.
